Abstract:
Industrial processes are subject to changes that can adversely affect product quality. A change in the process that increases the variability of the output of the process causes the output to be less uniform and increases the probability that individual items will not meet specifications. Statistical control charts for monitoring process variance can be used to detect an increase in the variability of the output of a process so that the situation can be repaired and product uniformity restored. Control charts that increase the sampling rate when there is evidence the variance has

Abstract:
A big challenge in managing large scale industry processes, like the ones in the paper and pulp industry, is to reduce the amount of downtime and reduce sources of product quality variability to a minimum, while staying cost effective. To accomplish this the key is to understand the complex nature of the processes variables, and to quantify the causal relationships between them and the product quality together with the amount of output. Paper and pulp industry processes consist mainly of chemical processes and the relatively low cost of sensors today enables collection of huge amounts of data,

The increased collection of high-dimensional data in various fields has raised a strong interest in clustering algorithms and variable selection procedures.

Abstract:
La modélisation de processus est, depuis plusieurs années, utilisée en entreprise pour représenter et maîtriser l’organisation et les flux d’informations. Parallèlement, la structure et les besoins des entreprises ont évolué : de plus en plus souvent, les mêmes processus métier sont déployés pour une entreprise donnée mais dans des environnements différents.Les organisations ont donc besoin de modéliser et déployer un même ensemble de processus métier dans des environnements divers tout en les adaptant le mieux possible aux spécificités de chacun de ces environnements.La méthode V BPMI s’inscr

Abstract:
A otimização de processos vem se tornando uma ferramenta fundamental para o aumento da lucratividade das plantas químicas. Diversos métodos de otimização foram propostos ao longo dos anos, sendo que a otimização em tempo real (RTO) é a solução mais consolidada industrialmente, enquanto que o self-optimizing control (SOC) surge como uma alternativa simplificada, com um menor custo de implantação em relação a esse. Neste trabalho são estudados diversos aspectos da metodologia de SOC, iniciando pela análise do impacto do ponto de operação para o desenvolvimento de estruturas de controle auto-otim

Abstract:
A presente tese apresenta proposições para o uso da seleção de variáveis no aprimoramento do controle estatístico de processos multivariados (MSPC) em bateladas, a fim de contribuir com a melhoria da qualidade de processos industriais. Dessa forma, os objetivos desta tese são: (i) identificar as limitações encontradas pelos métodos MSPC no monitoramento de processos industriais; (ii) entender como métodos de seleção de variáveis são integrados para promover a melhoria do monitoramento de processos de elevada dimensionalidade; (iii) discutir sobre métodos para alinhamento e sincronização de bat

Abstract:
Esta tese apresenta uma sistemática para seleção de variáveis de processo e determinação da condição ótima de operação em processos contínuos multivariados e em múltiplos estágios. O método proposto é composto por seis etapas. Um pré-tratamento nos dados é realizado após a identificação das variáveis de processo e do estabelecimento dos estágios de produção, onde são descartadas observações com valores espúrios e dados remanescentes são padronizados. Em seguida, cada estágio é modelado através de uma regressão Partial Least Squares (PLS) que associa a variável dependente daquele estágio às var

Abstract:
This research investigates a batch arrival queueing system with a Bernoulli scheduled vacation and random system breakdowns. It is assumed that the repair process does not start immediately after the breakdown. Consequently there maybe a delay in starting repairs. After every service completion the server may go on an optional vacation. When the original vacation is completed the server has the option to go on an extended vacation. It is assumed that the system is equipped with a stand-by server to serve the customers during the vacation period of the main server as well as during the repair p
