Nonlinear filtering and optimal quality control
Abstract
Some stochastic models of optimal decision processes in quality control problems are formulated, analyzed, and solved. It is assumed that costs, positive or negative, are assigned to various events in a simple manufacturing
model, such as processing an item, producing a saleable item, discarding
an item for salvage, selling a “lemon”, etc. and models are described by
giving a sequence of events, some of which are decisions to process, to
abandon, to accept, to restart,
