Desain Sistem Pakar Untuk Kontrol Kualitas Pakan

The objective of feed production process is to generate high quality of feed with parameters, such as good physical, nutrition characteristics, continuous, palatability and safety. It is needed to support the optimum performance of production process. The general objective of this research was to study quality control system and application of quality management in feed production industry. The objective in this research was to design an expert system for feed quality control based on basic knowledge through knowledge acquisition. Model was designed through two steps, i.e. (1) preparation, and (2) development. System development consisted of (a) basic knowledge development in knowledge acquisition, knowledge conceptualization, and knowledge representation, (b) development of inference mechanism, (c) coding, and (d) verification. The Expert System showed that if data out of control, then process was on uncontrollable condition. The Expert System would interpret the causes and recommend the solution that should be done by supervisors/operators

Some Issues of the Quality Control System Development for Telecommunications Services

In connection with the rapid development of telecommunications technologies, the provision of communication quality parameters and its reliability are very relevant. In this regard, the new approaches to the operation and control of telecommunications networks are required which are inconceivable without an integrated approach to solving this problem and developing a control system not only for the network state, but also for the quality indicators of its operation. The idea of the work is to develop the control system that is able to determine the principles of strict monitoring over the telecommunications network of Kazakhtelecom JSC in Karaganda. The analysis of the key performance indicators of the telecommunications network showed that after the implementation of the Network Management System hardware and software complex, all values of quality indicators meet the regulatory values. It allows monitoring and controlling the telecommunications network at various levels of operation of basic and auxiliary equipment in a wide range of work

Integrating quality control and performance management in developing complex bespoke systems

Risk and performance management are at the core of complex bespoke systems (CBSs). CBSs are developed to customer–specified requirements in terms of structure, functionality and conformance. This paper examines how risk and performance management are integrated as essential systems in the successful development of projects across multi-organisational functions in complex bespoke system (CBS) organisations. The paper argues for the development of a quality management system that consists of two sub-processes: quality control and quality development. Using three case studies from engineering companies, we provide evidence and insights of the way change control, quality development and quality performance are developed in innovating business solutions

Behavior sensitivities for control augmented structures

During the past few years it has been recognized that combining passive structural design methods with active control techniques offers the prospect of being able to find substantially improved designs. These developments have stimulated interest in augmenting structural synthesis by adding active control system design variables to those usually considered in structural optimization. An essential step in extending the approximation concepts approach to control augmented structural synthesis is the development of a behavior sensitivity analysis capability for determining rates of change of dynamic response quantities with respect to changes in structural and control system design variables. Behavior sensitivity information is also useful for man-machine interactive design as well as in the context of system identification studies. Behavior sensitivity formulations for both steady state and transient response are presented and the quality of the resulting derivative information is evaluated
