Abstract
This paper presents a model-based approach to quality improvement of signal-dependent systems. Mean and variance models for such systems are given, including the case of performance characteristic’s variance depending on time. It is shown that the additional information obtained from measurable external variables, called signals, can improve process quality considerably.
