The paper presents variance control chart used in small batch production in which there are not sufficient observations.

The model developed which including the temperature for gas in heating chamber and the heating cover is based on the characteristics of anneal craft and the situations of locale production run. Firstly, the characteristic of the heating cover which limits the temperature was considered. Secondly, the locale production run condition and dispatching condition were considered. Finally, combining with the models and the simulation system, the numerical simulation research of the anneal process for the high performance hydrogen bell-type annealer as well as the spot experiment test were carried out. The results obtained from the developed models, usually finished less than thirty seconds, are in fair agreement with the test values, such as the relative errors of annealing times were within ±5%, and the quality＇ of the annealed steels were guaranteed.展开更多
