9311824 Alexander The objective of this research are to: (1) develop a procedure for determining optimum process settings for this and other related fill problems; (2) to design and implement an effective automatic process regulation and monitoring scheme for effectively minimizing the variation in this filling process; (3) to recommend basic filling system design changes that will improve the overall filling operation; and (4) to investigate the effect of measurement error on automatically controlled processes. The research will address two important problem areas with regard to the pouch filling process. The first involves finding the optimal values for the process mean fill setting and the upper specification limit such that overall profit is maximized. The second involves the identification, control, and possible elimination of the sources of variation within the filling process. Since these problems exist in a variety of industries, the success of the research should have wide applications.

本研究的目的是：(1)制定一个程序，用于确定此问题和其他相关填充问题的最佳工艺设置；(2)设计并实施有效的自动过程调节和监控方案，以有效地减少该灌装过程中的变化；(3)建议基本的灌装系统设计变更，以改善整体灌装操作；(4)研究测量误差对自动控制过程的影响。该研究将解决两个重要的问题领域，关于袋填充过程。第一个涉及找到工艺平均填充设置和规格上限的最佳值，从而使总利润最大化。第二项涉及灌装过程中变异源的识别、控制和可能的消除。由于这些问题存在于各个行业，因此研究的成功应该具有广泛的应用价值。
