Any analytical data is used to provide information about a sample. The "possible error" of the measurement can be of extreme
importance in order to have complete information. The measurement uncertainty concept is a way to achieve quantitative information
about this "possible error" using an estimation procedure. On the basis of the analytical result, the chemist makes a decision
on the next step of the development process. If the uncertainty is unknown, the information is not complete; therefore this
decision might be impossible. The major problem for the in-process control (IPC) procedure is that not only the repeatability
but also the intermediate precision (which expresses the variations within laboratories related to different days, different
analysts, different equipment, etc.) has to be good enough to make a decision. Unfortunately, the statistical information
achieved from one single analytical run only gives information about the repeatability. This paper shows that the estimation
of the measurement uncertainty for IPC is a way to solve the problem and gives the necessary information about the quality
of the procedure. An example demonstrates that an estimate of uncertainty based on the standard deviations of an analytical
method gives a value similar to one based on the standard deviations obtained from a control chart. Therefore, the estimation
is both a very useful and also a very cost-effective tool. Though measurement uncertainty cannot replace validation in general,
it is a viable alternative to validation for all methods that will never be used routinely.

It is widely accepted that the frictional pressure drop is impossible to be negative for pipe flow. However, the negative frictional pressure drops were observed for some cases of two-phase slug and churn flows in pipes, challenging the general sense of thermodynamic irreversibility. In order to solve this puzzling problem, theoretical investigations were performed for the entropy generation in slug and churn flows. It is found that the frictional pressure drop along with a buoyancy-like term contributes to the entropy generation due to mechanical energy loss for steady, incompressible slug and churn flows in vertical and inclined pipes. Experiments were conducted in a vertical pipe with diameter as 0.04 m for slug and churn flows. Most of the experimental data obtained for frictional pressure drop are negative at high gas–liquid ratios from 100 to 10,000. Entropy generation rates were calculated from experimental data. The results show that the buoyancy-like term is positive and responsible for a major part of entropy generation rate while the frictional pressure drop is responsible for a little part of entropy generation rate, because of which the overall entropy generation due to mechanical energy loss is still positive even if the frictional pressure drop is negative in vertical slug and churn flows. It is clear that the negative frictional pressure drops observed in slug and churn flows are not against the thermodynamics irreversibility. 相似文献

We consider the assortment optimization problem under the classical two-level nested logit model. We establish a necessary and sufficient condition for the optimal assortment and develop a simple and fast greedy algorithm that iteratively removes at most one product from each nest to compute an optimal solution. 相似文献

In many situations one needs to know which action one should take with a customer to yield the greatest response. Typically, estimates of the response functions of different actions will be based on the responses of customers previously assigned to each action. Often, however, the previous assignments will not have been random, so that estimates of the response functions will be biased. We examine the case of two possible actions. We look at the error arising from using the simple OLS estimate ignoring the selection bias, and also explore the possibility of using the Heckman model to allow for the sample selectivity. The performance of Heckman’s model is then compared with the simple OLS through simulation. 相似文献

The impact of sharing customer returns information in a supply chain with and without a buyback policy 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

In this paper, we examine a single period problem in a supply chain in which a Stackelberg manufacturer supplies a product to a retailer who faces customer returns and demand uncertainty. We show that the manufacturer incurs a significant profit loss with and without a buyback policy if it fails to account for customer returns in the wholesale price decision. Under the assumption that the retailer is better informed than the manufacturer on customer returns information, we show that without a buyback policy, the retailer prefers not to share if the manufacturer overestimates while it prefers to share customer returns information if the manufacturer underestimates this information. If the manufacturer offers a buyback policy, we have the opposite results. We also discuss incentives to share the customer returns information and some of the issues that are raised in sharing this information. 相似文献

Recently, Cui et al. (2018) investigated the economics of line-sitting, where a customer could hire a line-sitter to wait for her, and the line-sitting fee is paid at the completion of service. Usually, it is believed that the line-sitting firm benefits in the pre-commitment payment method, in which the customer still pays a pre-specified amount of fee for service even if the actual waiting time is less than the pre-committed wait. By comparing two payment mechanisms, we find that, surprisingly, under the optimal line-sitting rate, the revenue of firm worsens under pre-commitment case, but a better customer welfare can be obtained. 相似文献

A recent editorial reviewed several definitions of quality. The limitations of these definitions are discussed here, with
a simple suggestion to define quality as meeting a specified error rate whereby the required elements for an error rate are
listed.

Accredited laboratories are the accreditation bodies customers – all other interested parties are stakeholders. The ultimate
consumer expects his product to be safe, reliable and good value for money. All other expectations in the supply chain relate
to the consumer's expectations. 相似文献

We consider the control of a production-inventory system with impatient customers. We show that the optimal policy can be described using two thresholds: a production base-stock level that determines when production takes place and an admission threshold that determines when orders should be accepted. We describe an algorithm for computing the performance of the system for any choice of base-stock level and admission threshold. In a numerical study, we compare the performance of the optimal policy against several other policies. 相似文献
