Process change is often difficult to manage, let alone to predict. In this paper, adaptation function theory is used to illustrate how a system dynamics-based model can be used to anticipate the effects that process change policies and strategies will have on change execution. The adaptation function...

With the advent of Taguchi’s loss function, the concept of target and sticking to the target to achieve better process performance has become widely accepted. In practice, while estimating process performance, the gauge measurement error is not taken into consideration. In the real world scenario this...
