- Identifying Exporter's Relative Product Quality Variation From Export Unit Values
- This paper develops a methodology for decomposing cross-country variation in export unit values into quality versus real price components. The methodology is based on revealed preferences in an environment where consumers have a taste for variety. The authors have derived conditions under which the unobserved export quality ratio of any...

- Quality Process And Improvement
- Variation occurs in all processes. Common cause variation is a natural part of the process. Another type of variation, called special causes, comes from outside the system and causes recognizable patterns, shifts, or trends in the data. The run chart shows if special causes are influencing your process. A process...

- Pricing Options on Realized Variance
- Models which hypothesize that returns are pure jump processes with independent increments have been shown to be capable of capturing the observed variation of market prices of vanilla stock options across strike and maturity. This paper these models are employed to derive in closed form the prices of derivatives written...

- Federal Employees Health Benefits Program: Competition and Other Factors Linked to Wide Variation in Health Care Prices
- This report examines prices and spending in FEHBP Preferred Provider Organizations PPOs to determine the extent to which hospital and physician prices varied geographically, which factors were associated with geographic variation in hospital and physician prices, and the extent to which hospital and physician price variation contributed to geographic variation...

- Interference in Design - Interferometry Helps Engineers Build Better Cars
- Computer-aided holographic interferometry CAHI, electronic speckle pattern interferometry ESPI, and scanning laser Doppler vibrometry SLDV have become essential in the development process due to their unique capability to make sensitive, non-contact, full-field measurements. Interferometry converts phase differences between wavefronts into detectable irradiance variations fringes. Although there are many variations of...

- Facial Asymmetry: A New Biometric
- This white paper work investigates in depth the effect of statistical facial asymmetry measurement as a biometric under expression variations. The paper findings demonstrate that the asymmetry of specific facial regions captures individual differences that are robust to variation in facial expression. The experimental results show that facial asymmetry provides...

- Value Enhancing Capital Budgeting and Firm-Specific Stock Return Variation
- "The article documents a robust cross-sectional positive association across industries between a measure of the economic efficiency of corporate investment and the magnitude of firm-specific variation in stock returns. This finding is interesting for two reasons, neither of which is a priori obvious. First, it adds further support to the...

- "Six Sigma Tolerance Design Case Study:Optimizing an Analog Circuit Using Monte Carlo Analysis
- "Tolerance Design is the science of predicting the variation in system performance caused by variations in component values or the environment. This article shows how Monte Carlo simulation can be applied to predict and improve the quality of a system before even one prototype has been built. Using these...

- Variation And The Six Sigma Goal
- "Regarding variation, the goals of Six Sigma is to minimize the special-cause variation that causes a sample mean to shift from the target and reduce common-cause variation, or the standard deviation of the distribution. Since the vast majority of problems (approximately 94%) are caused by common-cause variation, this...

- Putting Quality in Project Risk Management: Understanding Variation
- Project managers should use the tools of quality management to improve prediction and control of project schedule and cost. This paper hypothesizes the poor performance of the project management system. Lack of understanding common cause and special cause variation underlies the problem, leading to management mistakes that degrade performance of...

- Understanding Variation
- A key element in achieving Operational Excellence is to identify sources of variation that affect a process, product, or service. Once identified the key sources can then be earmarked for attention. The focus is on Six Sigma, as a methodology to achieve Operational Excellence, has at its roots a focus...

- UL White Paper Covers Variation in Fire Protection Products
- Variation introduced through design, raw materials or manufacturing processes can cause fire protection systems to fail performance tests. To avoid these complications, manufacturers must understand how much variation their systems can tolerate and still meet functional and safety requirements. To help manufacturers gain this understanding, Underwriters Laboratories UL has published...
