Abstract: Remaining useful life (RUL) is of great importance to energy supply systems, such as battery pack. In this paper, an optimization model of RUL for the paralleled battery pack on expansion mode is proposed based on the basic concept of RUL and the capacity fading model. genetic algorithm (GA) is adopted to solve the problem. Case study shows that the battery pack's RUL can be extended by using the optimization model and GA.

Abstract: The definition of process system reliability was provided. The study focused on the process reliability model with the quality parameter as index. Taking into account the effect of error propagation in working procedures on the whole process, it proposed the calculating methods of working procedures and process system reliability, which can effectively evaluate the ability of process subsystem in fulfilling design requirement.

Abstract: As performance of processes in a manufacturing system determines the quality of product, the factors that have effects on the processes need to be taken into account to guarantee the product quality during manufacturing. As impacting factors’ effects are usually qualitatively described and hence result in difficulties of quantifying and evaluating, this paper proposes organizing a group of experts to evaluate the effects of the impacting factors and applying a fuzzy Impact-Matrix method to quantify the evaluation results. The proposed method provides engineers with a general perspective to identify important impacting factors and thus facilitates the control of processes.
