Each arc in a capacitated-flow network has discrete and multiple-valued random capacities. Many studies evaluated the probability named system reliability herein that the maximum flow from source to sink is no less than a demand d for a capacitated-flow n... see more

Demand for any material in a hospital depends on a random arrival rate and random length of stay in units. Therefore, the demand for any material shows stochastic characteristics that make determining the optimum level of r and Q problem more difficult. T... see more

Nosocomial infections (NIs) have been a major concern in hospitals, especially in high-risk populations. Neonates hospitalized in the intensive care unit (ICU) have a higher risk of acquiring infections during hospitalization than other ICU populations, w... see more

The main purpose of this study is to devise a novel methodology for automated scenario generation, which simultaneously checks the feasibility and the correctness of scenarios in terms of event sequence, logical propagation, and violation of constraints. ... see more

Researchers often identify robust design, based on the concept of building quality into products or processes, as one of the most important systems engineering design concepts for quality improvement and process optimization. Traditional robust design pri... see more

The idea of variable sample size and variable sampling interval with sampling at fixed times is extended to the Hotellling’s T2 chart in this study. This chart is called variable sample size and sampling intervals with fixed times (VSSIFT) Hotellling’s T2... see more
