When the value o the qualty characterstc o an tem alls below a lower lmt, the tem s scrapped. I t alls above an upper lmt, the tem s reworked. Otherwse, the tem passes the nspecton. Ths low o materal through the producton system can be modeled n an absorbng Markov chan characterzng the uncertanty due to scrappng and reworkng. Numercal examples are provded to demonstrate the applcaton o the proposed model. Keywords: Qualty Inspecton; Rework; Markovan Model; Expected Prot.. Introducton The determnaton o optmum process mean s one o the most mportant decson-makng problems encountered n ndustral applcatons. Consder a certan producton process, where an tem s reworked the value o ts qualty characterstc alls above an upper speccaton lmt and t s scrapped when t alls below a lower speccaton lmt. A dmenson n the surace nshng processes o metals s an example o ths scenaro. In ths stuaton, on the one hand the process mean s set too low, then the proporton o nonconormng tems becomes hgh and the decson maker experences hgh rejecton costs assocated wth nonconormng tems. On the other hand, the process mean s set too hgh, then the proporton o reworkng tems becomes hgh, resultng n a hgher reworkng cost. Ths justes the determnaton o the optmum process mean []. Al-Sultan and Pulak [] proposed a model consderng a producton system wth two stages n seres to nd the optmum mean values wth a lower speccaton lmt and applcaton o a 00% nspecton polcy. Ferrell and Chhoker [4] proposed a method to determne the optmal acceptance samplng plans economcally. Ther Approach s based on the Taguch loss uncton to quanty devatons between a qualty characterstc and ts target * Correspondng author emal: Nak@Shar.edu level. Bowlng et al [] employed a Markovan model n order to maxmze the total prot assocated wth a multstage seral producton system. They tred to determne optmal process target levels, n whch lower and upper speccaton lmts are gven at each stage. In addton, they assumed each qualty characterstc s governed by a normal dstrbuton and screenng (00%) nspecton s perormed. Further, Plla and Chandrasekharan [3] modeled the low o materal through the producton system as an absorbng Markov chan consderng scrappng and reworkng. Ther model promses better system desgn n materal requrement plannng, capacty requrement plannng, and nventory control. In the present research, smlar to Bowlng et al[], the low o a dscrete producton process s modeled nto an absorbng Markov chan. In other words, n ths process, not all tems reach the nal stage due to scrappng and reworkng. Hence, the absorbng Markov chan stochastc process model wll be adopted. The data requred or such a model are: () the probablty whch an tem goes rom one stage o producton to the next, and () the probablty o reworkng and scrappng tems at varous stages. At every stage o producton, the tem s nspected; t does not conorm to ts speccatons, t s ether scrapped or reworked. The reworked tem wll be nspected agan. However, there are two man derences between the current work and the one n Bowlng et al []. The rst
2 Archve o SID Mohammad Saber Fallah Nezhad et al. / Absorbng Markov Chan Models to Determne Optmum Process relates to the assumpton that n the present work the nonconormng tems are repared n a separate staton. In other words, whle n Bowlng et al [] the nonconormng tems are repared n the man staton, n the current research they are repared n a separate repar staton. The second derence s the ncorrectness o the objectve uncton o the two-stage process n Bowlng et al. (004), where they multpled the sellng prce o an tem (SP ) by ( 4)( 4). Knowng that n the ( ) coecent shows derved Markovan model the 4 the percentage o conormng tems, t s not necessary to multply ( 4) SP by ( 4) agan. In ths research, we revse the objectve uncton o Bowlng et al [], tryng to oer a better soluton. The rest o the paper s organzed as ollows. We rst present the requred notatons n secton. The model development comes next n secton 3. The numercal demonstraton on the applcaton o the proposed methodology s gven n secton 4. Fnally, we conclude the paper n secton 5.. Notatons The requred notatons are: : The upper speccaton lmt n the th stage o the producton,, : The lower speccaton lmt n the th stage o the producton,, p j : The probablty o gong rom state to state j n a sngle step j : The long run probablty o gong rom a nonabsorbng state () to another absorbng state (j) E ( PR ): The expected prot per tem E ( RV ): The expected revenue per tem E ( PC ): The expected processng cost per tem E ( SC ): The expected scrappng cost per tem E ( RC ): The expected reworkng cost per tem SP : The sellng prce o an tem PC : The processng cost o the stage SC : The scrappng cost o the RC : The reworkng cost o the th th th stage stage P : The transton probablty matrx Q : The transton probablty matrx o gong rom a non-absorbng state to another non-absorbng state R : A matrx contanng all probabltes o gong rom a non-absorbng state to another absorbng state (.e., accepted or rejected tem) I : The dentty matrx O : A matrx wth zero elements M : The undamental matrx F : The absorpton probablty matrx 3. Model Development Consder a seral producton system n whch tems are 00% nspected n all stages. The tem s then reworked, accepted or scrapped. As raw materals come nto the producton system and nally go out o t, a state n the Markovan model represents derent condtons o the raw materals,.e., reworkng, scrappng, and acceptng. In other words, an tem can be n one o ts three states modeled by a dscrete random varable X. As tme () t goes on, the random varable X generates a random processx t : t 0. Ths stochastc process wth dscrete state space and dscrete values o the parameter t becomes a dscrete tme (rst order) Markov chan when transton rom one state to the next depends only on the current state. Among the states, some are transent and the others absorbng. A Markov chan wth one or more absorbng states s known as absorbng Markov chan. When an tem s n an absorbng state, t never leaves the state (Plla and Chandrasekharan [3]). The expected prot per tem n the system under consderaton can be expressed as ollows: E PR E RV E PC () E SC E RC Then, n what ollows a sngle-stage producton system s rst modeled. The two-stage modelng comes next. 3.. The sngle-stage system Consder a sngle-stage producton system wth the ollowng states: State : An tem s beng processed by the producton system State : An tem s beng reworked State 3: An tem s accepted to be nshed work State 4: An tem s scrapped. Then, the sngle-step transton probablty matrx can be expressed as: p p p 0 0 p p P 3 4 () 3 4 where p s the probablty o reworkng an tem, p3 s the probablty o acceptng an tem, and p 4 s the
3 Archve o SID Journal o Industral Engneerng 6(00) -6 probablty o scrappng an tem. Assumng that the qualty characterstc o an tem ollows a normal dstrbuton wth mean and standard devaton, these probabltes can be expressed as (Bowlng et al. 004): x p e dx (3) x 3 p e dx (4) x 4 p e dx (5) Moreover, p 3 and p 4 denote the probabltes o acceptng and scrappng a reworked tem, respectvely and the hstorcal data rom the producton system can be used to determne the value o p 3 and p 4. Note that n order to analyze the transton probablty matrx P n an absorbng Markov chan, we rearranged t n the ollowng orm: I O P= (6) R Q By determnng the undamental matrx M as: - p p M= I-Q 0 0 (7) the absorpton probablty matrx F can then be obtaned as ollows (Bowlng et al. 004): p p3 p4 F=M R 0 p3 p 4 p3 p p3 p4 p p4 p3 p p3 p 4 where 3 and 4 are the probabltes o acceptng and scrappng an tem. Now, the expected prot per tem o equaton () wll be: 3 E PR SP PC SC p RC 4 (8) (9) Substtutng or 3 we have: = SP SC p p p E PR SP p3 p p3 PC SC p p p RC p (0) RCp PC SC p, p, and p the expected Further, substtutng or 3 4 prot can be wrtten n terms o the cumulatve normal dstrbuton as ollows: RC PC SC EPR SP SC p3 The terms and () are unctons o the decson varable and we desre to determne the optmal value o the process mean so that the objectve uncton n () s maxmzed. Ths can be obtaned usng an ordnary numercal search algorthm, n whch the ntervals are rst parttoned to some sub-ntervals or each o whch the objectve uncton value s determned. Then, the maxmum o these values s the near-optmal soluton. 3.. The Two-stage system Consder a two-stage seral producton system wth the ollowng states, State : An tem s beng processed n the rst stage o the producton process State : An tem s beng reworked n the rst stage o the producton process State 3: An tem s beng processed n the second stage o the producton process State 4: An tem s beng reworked n the second stage o the producton process State 5: An tem s accepted to be nshed work State 6: An tem s scrapped Then, assumng the qualty characterstc o an tem n the second stage ollows a normal dstrbuton wth mean and standard devaton, the sngle-step transton probablty matrx can be expressed as ollows: p p 0 0 p 0 0 p 0 0 p p p p p45 p46 P () where,

Once agan, the hstorcal data avalable n the producton system can be used to determne the values o p 3 and p 45. The terms,,, and are unctons o the decson varables and that are the process means n stages and, respectvely. Rearrangng the P matrx and applyng the method used or the sngle-stage system results n the ollowng undamental and absorpton matrces: p p3 0 0 p3 0 - M= I-Q 0 0 p p p p3 p3 p34 p p3 p3 0 p3 p3p p F=M R p p p3 p3 p34 p p3 p3 0 p p p p p p 34 p35 p p45 p46 p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p3p35 p3p34 p45 p6 p3p36 p3p34p46 p35 p34p45 p36 p34p46 p45 p46 where 5 and 6 are the probabltes o acceptng and scrappng an tem, and 36 s the probablty o scrappng an tem n stage. p p (9) The expected prot s obtaned by determnng the terms n equaton () as ollows. 6 E( RV ) SP (0) 4

(004) multpled the sellng prce per tem (SP ) by the long-term probablty o acceptng tems n stage multpled by the probablty o acceptng tems n stage. Ths s not correct because the long-term probablty o acceptng tems n stage denotes the overall proporton o the tems that have been accepted n all stages o the process. As a result, t s not requred to multply t by the probablty o acceptng tems n stage. 4. Numercal Examples In ths secton, we provde two numercal examples to llustrate the applcatons o the proposed model n both sngle-stage and two-stage processes. 4.. A numercal example or a sngle-stage system (4) determned by equaton (3), (4), and (5) usng a numercal search method. Then, the expected prot per tem s maxmzed at 9.9 wth a value o E( PR) $73..

The other probablty terms are rst determned usng equaton (3) and through a numercal search method. Then, the expected prot s maxmzed at 9.8 and 5 wth an expected prot per tem o E( PR) $9.06. The uncton E ( PR ) that s dened n equaton (5) s plotted or derent decson varables and n Fgure (). Once agan, Fgure () shows that the expected prot s a concave uncton o the process mean. 0 Consder a sngle-stage producton system wth the ollowng characterstcs: SP $0, PC $40, RC $35, SC $5,, p3 0.95, 8, and.

Concluson In ths paper, absorbng Markov chan models were developed to determne the optmal process means that maxmze the expected prot per tem o both sngle-stage and two-stage producton systems n whch the tems are %00 nspected to be classed as acceptng, scrappng, and reworkng ones. Two numercal examples were provded to llustrate the applcatons o the proposed models. Fnally, the relatonshps between the process means and the expected prot per tem were gven. 6.
