Description
Summary:Sanitary porcelain products might have several defects, causing potential high-grade desirable products be converted into low-grade ones. Some of the defects are such that a few of them in the products will result in a great fall of product rating and consequently reduction of its value and price. Among these defects is a defect called pinhole. In this article, it has been tried to identify, from a list of factors, the most influential factors of the production process which cause the pinhole defect affecting the product rating. It then tries to present a prediction model for the number of pinholes. For this purpose, initially seven factors were chosen to help presenting a suitable prediction model and several statistical tools and artificial intelligence prediction tools were investigated to present a suitable prediction model. The presented model could be used by the company to enhance the product rating through choosing right value for the right factors causing the pinhole defect and to decrease the wastes and the expenditures.
