Even though the impact of manufacturing quality to reliability is not considered much as well as that of design area, a major cause of an early failure of the product is known as manufacturing problem. This research applies two different types of neural network algorithms, the Back propagation (BP) algorithm and Learning Vector Quantization (LVQ) algorithm, to identify and classify the nonrandom variation pattern on the control chart based on knowledge-based diagnosis of dimensional variation. The performance and efficiency of both algorithms are evaluated to choose the better pattern recognition system for auto body assembly process. To analyze hundred percent of the data obtained by Optical Coordinate Measurement Machine (OCMM), this research considers an application in which individual observations rather than subsample means are used. A case study for analysis of OCMM data in underbody assembly process is presented to demonstrate the proposed knowledge-based pattern recognition system.

The dimensional measurement equipment, such as Coordinate Measurement Machine (CMM), Optical Coordinate Measurement Machine (OCMM), and Checking Fixture (CF), take multiple dimensional measurements for each part in an automobile industry. Measurements are also recorded under different measurement systems to see if the responses differ significantly over these systems. Each measurement system (CMM, OCMM, and CF) will be considered as different treatments. This set-up provides massive amounts of process data which are multivariate in nature. Therefore, the multivariate statistical analysis is required to analyze data that are dependent on each other. This research provides step by step methodology for the evaluation procedure of the compatibility of measurement systems and clarify a systematic analyzation among the different measurement system's compatibility followed by number of case studies for each methodologies provided.

이 논문은 자동차 차체 조립과정에서, 품질관리의 일환으로써, 비접촉 자동측정시스템을 이용하여 검사해야 하는 수많은 비독립적인 검사점을 다변량분산분석과 주성분분석을 이용하여 효율적으로 검사점을 감소시키는 방법을 설명하고 있다. 이 연구의 목적은 다변량분산분석, 주성분 분석의 개념과 이러한 기법들을 산업체 제조분야에서 응용하는 방법을 설명하여 독자의 사례 응용 이해를 돕는데 있으며, 또한 특히 주성분분석을 이용하여 수 많은 비독립적인 검사점을 어떻게 유효하게 줄여나가는지를 보여주고자 한다. 독자의 이해를 돕기 위하여 위와 같은 절차를 순서대로 설명하였으며, 실제 자동차 조립공장에서 발생하는 사례를 수치 예를 들어 설명하였다.
