The combined EWMA-X chart is a commonly used tool for monitoring both large and small process shifts. However, this chart requires calculating and monitoring two statistics along with two sets of control limits. Thus, this study develops a single-featured EWMA-X (called SFEWMA-X) control chart which has the ability to simultaneously monitor both large and small process shifts using only one set of statistic and control limits. The proposed SFEWMA-X chart is further extended to monitoring the shifts in process standard deviation. A set of simulated data are used to demonstrate the proposed chart's superior performance in terms of average run length compared with that of the traditional charts. The experimental examples also show that the SFEWMA-X chart is neater and easier to visually interpret than the original EWMA-X chart. 相似文献

This study proposes a synthetic double sampling s chart that integrates the double sampling (DS) s chart and the conforming run length chart. An optimization procedure is proposed to compute the optimal parameters of the synthetic DS s chart. The performance of the synthetic DS s chart is compared with other existing control charts for monitoring process standard deviation. The results show that the synthetic DS s chart is more effective for detecting increases in the process standard deviation for a wide range of shifts. An example is provided to illustrate the operation procedure of the synthetic DS s chart. 相似文献

A synthetic mean square error (MSE) control chart is presented in this study for monitoring the changes in the mean and standard deviation of a normally distributed process. The synthetic MSE control chart is a combination of the standard MSE control chart and the conforming run length (CRL) control chart. From the numerical comparisons, the synthetic MSE control chart is always more efficient than the standard MSE control chart in detecting shifts in the process mean and standard deviation. The synthetic MSE chart also performs better than the exponentially weighted moving average-semicircle (EWMA-SC) chart, except for some cases where the process mean shifts are small. 相似文献

The Shewhart R control chart and s control chart are widely used to monitor shifts in the process spread. One fact is that the distributions of the range and sample standard deviation are highly skewed. Therefore, the R chart and s chart neither provide an in-control average run length (ARL) of approximately 370 nor guarantee the desired type I error of 0.0027. Another disadvantage of these two charts is their failure in detecting an improvement in the process variability. In order to overcome these shortcomings, we propose the improved R chart (IRC) and s chart (ISC) with accurate approximation of the control limits by using cumulative distribution functions of the sample range and standard deviation. Simulation studies show that the IRC and ISC perform very well. We also compare the type II error risks and ARLs of the IRC and ISC and found that the s chart is generally more efficient than the R chart. Examples are given to illustrate the use of the developed charts. 相似文献

It is often encountered in the literature that the log-likelihood ratios (LLR) of some distributions (e.g. the student t distribution) are not monotonic. Existing charts for monitoring such processes may suffer from the fact that the average run length (ARL) curve is a discontinuous function of control limit. It implies that some pre-specified in-control (IC) ARLs of these charts may not be reached. To guarantee the false alarm rate of a control chart lower than the nominal level, a larger IC ARL is usually suggested in the literature. However, the large IC ARL may weaken the performance of a control chart when the process is out-of-control (OC), compared with a just right IC ARL. To overcome it, we adjust the LLR to be a monotonic one in this paper. Based on it, a multiple CUSUM chart is developed to detect range shifts in IC distribution. Theoretical result in this paper ensures the continuity of its ARL curve. Numerical results show our proposed chart performs well under the range shifts, especially under the large shifts. In the end, a real data example is utilized to illustrate our proposed chart. 相似文献

A multivariate synthetic exponentially weighted moving average (MSEWMA) control chart is presented in this study. The MSEWMA control chart consists of a multivariate exponentially weighted moving average (MEWMA) control chart and a conforming run length control chart. The average run length of the MSEWMA control chart is obtained using a Markov chain approach. From the numerical comparisons, it is shown that the MSEWMA control chart is more efficient than the multivariate synthetic T 2 control chart and the MEWMA control chart for detecting shifts in the process mean vector. 相似文献

Statistical design is applied to a multivariate exponentially weighted moving average (MEWMA) control chart. The chart parameters are control limit H and smoothing constant r. The choices of the parameters depend on the number of variables p and the size of the process mean shift δ. The MEWMA statistic is modeled as a Markov chain and the Markov chain approach is used to determine the properties of the chart. Although average run length has become a traditional measure of the performance of control schemes, some authors have suggested other measures, such as median and other percentiles of the run length distribution to explain run length properties of a control scheme. This will allow a thorough study of the performance of the control scheme. Consequently, conclusions based on these measures would provide a better and comprehensive understanding of a scheme. In this article, we present the performance of the MEWMA control chart as measured by the average run length and median run length. Graphs are given so that the chart parameters of an optimal MEWMA chart can be determined easily. 相似文献

The study proposes a Shewhart-type control chart, namely an MD chart, based on average absolute deviations taken from the median, for monitoring changes (especially moderate and large changes – a major concern of Shewhart control charts) in process dispersion assuming normality of the quality characteristic to be monitored. The design structure of the proposed MD chart is developed and its comparison is made with those of two well-known dispersion control charts, namely the R and S charts. Using power curves as a performance measure, it has been observed that the design structure of the proposed MD chart is more powerful than that of the R chart and is very close competitor to that of the S chart, in terms of discriminatory power for detecting shifts in the process dispersion. The non-normality effect is also examined on design structures of the three charts, and it has been observed that the design structure of the proposed MD chart is least affected by departure from normality. 相似文献

ABSTRACTControl charts are the frequently used tools for monitoring and controlling the processes. Classical control charts are sensitive to existing contaminated data which may be presented in the data collected from the processes. Thus, these charts are not able to control the processes precisely when the data are contaminated. Robust control charts are those which are less sensitive to contamination. Some robust control charts for monitoring the process variability were proposed in the past which are robust to some sorts of contamination. In this paper a new robust R control chart is proposed which is less sensitive to wide range of contaminations, i.e. general and local contaminations. Simulation studies are performed to compare the performance of the proposed control chart with some classical and robust control charts, using ARL and MSD as criteria for comparisons purposes. The simulation results show a very good performance of the proposed chart when both types of contaminations exist. 相似文献

Processes of serially dependent Poisson counts are commonly observed in real-world applications and can often be modeled by the first-order integer-valued autoregressive (INAR) model. For detecting positive shifts in the mean of a Poisson INAR(1) process, we propose the one-sided s exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) control chart, which is based on a new type of rounding operation. The s-EWMA chart allows computing average run length (ARLs) exactly and efficiently with a Markov chain approach. Using an implementation of this procedure for ARL computation, the s-EWMA chart is easily designed, which is demonstrated with a real-data example. Based on an extensive study of ARLs, the out-of-control performance of the chart is analyzed and compared with that of a c chart and a one-sided cumulative sum (CUSUM) chart. We also investigate the robustness of the chart against departures from the assumed Poisson marginal distribution. 相似文献

Gadre and Rattihalli [Gadre, M.P. and Rattihalli, R.N., 2005a, A unit and group runs based chart to identify increases in fraction nonconforming. Journal of Quality Technology, 37, 199–209.] proposed a control chart called the unit and group runs (UGR) control chart to identify increases in fraction non-conforming. In this article, the concept of UGR chart is extended to the multi-attribute case to detect the process deterioration. It is illustrated that in multi-attribute cases also, the UGR chart gives a remarkable reduction in out-of-control average time to signal when compared with the multi-attribute np chart, the multi-attribute synthetic chart and the multi-attribute group runs chart recently developed by Gadre and Rattihalli [Gadre, M.P. and Rattihalli, R.N., 2005b, Some group inspection based multi-attribute control charts. Economic Quality Control, 20, 191–204.]. The steady state performance of the multi-attribute UGR chart is also excellent. The procedure of identifying the attributes causing signal is also described and illustrated. 相似文献

Statistical quality control charts have been widely accepted as a potentially powerful process monitoring tool because of their excellent speed in tracking shifts in the underlying process parameter(s). In recent studies, auxiliary-information-based (AIB) control charts have shown superior run length performances than those constructed without using it. In this paper, a new double sampling (DS) control chart is constructed whose plotting-statistics requires information on the study variable and on any correlated auxiliary variable for efficiently monitoring the process mean, namely AIB DS chart. The AIB DS chart also encompasses the classical DS chart. We discuss in detail the construction, optimal design, run length profiles, and the performance evaluations of the proposed chart. It turns out that the AIB DS chart performs uniformly better than the DS chart when detecting different kinds of shifts in the process mean. It is also more sensitive than the classical synthetic and AIB synthetic charts when detecting a particular shift in the process mean. Moreover, with some realistic beliefs, the proposed chart outperforms the exponentially weighted moving average chart. An illustrative example is also presented to explain the working and implementation of the proposed chart. 相似文献

Summary: This paper studies the DDMA–chart, a data depth based moving–average control chart for monitoring multivariate data. This chart is nonparametric and it can detect simultaneously location and scale changes in the process. It improves upon the existing r– and Q–chart in the efficiency of detecting location changes. Both theoretical justifications and simulation studies are provided. Comparisons with some existing multivariate control charts via simulation results are also provided. Some applications of the DDMA–chart to the analysis of airline performance data (collected by the FAA) are demonstrated. The results indicate that the DDMA–chart is an effective nonparametric multivariate control chart.*Research supported in part by grants from the National Science Foundation, the

The shape features of run chart patterns of the most recent m observations arising from stable and unstable processes are different. Using this fact, a new monitoring statistic is defined whose value for given m depends on the pattern parameters but not on the process parameters. A control chart for this statistic for given m, therefore, will be globally applicable to normal processes. The simulation study reveals that the proposed statistic approximately follows normal distribution. The performances of the globally applicable control chart in terms of average run lengths (ARLs) are evaluated and compared with the X chart. Both in-control ARL and out-of-control ARLs with respect to different abnormal process conditions are found to be larger than the X chart. However, the proposed concept is promising because it can eliminate the burden of designing separate control charts for different quality characteristics or processes in a manufacturing set-up. 相似文献

Unless the preliminary m subgroups of small samples are drawn from a stable process, the estimated control limits of X¯ chart in phase I can be erroneous, due to which the performance of the chart in phase II can be significantly affected. In this work, a quantitative approach based on extraction of the shape features of control chart patterns in the X¯ chart is proposed for evaluating the stability of the process mean, while the preliminary samples were drawn and thus, the subjectivity associated with the visual analysis of the patterns is eliminated. The effectiveness of the test procedure is evaluated using simulated data. The results show that the proposed approach can be very effective for m≥48. The power of the test can be improved by identifying a new feature that can more efficiently discriminate the cyclic pattern of smaller periodicity from the natural pattern and by redefining the test statistic. 相似文献

The performance of the cumulative sum (CUSUM) control chart for the mean when measurement error exists is investigated. It is shown that the CUSUM chart is greatly affected by the measurement error. A similar result holds for the case of the CUSUM chart for the mean with linearly increasing variance. In this paper, we consider multiple measurements to reduce the effect of measurement error on the charts performance. Finally, a comparison of the CUSUM and EWMA charts is presented and certain recommendations are given. 相似文献

ABSTRACTIn this paper, we propose a control chart to monitor the Weibull shape parameter where the observations are censored due to competing risks. We assume that the failure occurs due to two competing risks that are independent and follow Weibull distribution with different shape and scale parameters. The control charts are proposed to monitor one or both of the shape parameters of competing risk distributions and established based on the conditional expected values. The proposed control chart for both shape parameters is used in certain situations and allows to monitor both shape parameters in only one chart. The control limits depend on the sample size, number of failures due to each risk and the desired stable average run length (ARL). We also consider the estimation problem of the target parameters when the Phase I sample is incomplete. We assumed that some of the products that fail during the life testing have a cause of failure that is only known to belong to a certain subset of all possible failures. This case is known as masking. In the presence of masking, the expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm is proposed to estimate the parameters. For both cases, with and without masking, the behaviour of ARLs of charts is studied through the numerical methods. The influence of masking on the performance of proposed charts is also studied through a simulation study. An example illustrates the applicability of the proposed charts. 相似文献

ABSTRACTQuality control charts have been widely recognized as a potentially powerful statistical process monitoring tool in statistical process control because of their superior ability in detecting shifts in the process parameters. Recently, auxiliary-information-based control charts have been proposed and shown to have excellent speed in detecting process shifts than those based without it. In this paper, we design a new synthetic control chart that is based on a statistic that utilizes information from both the study and auxiliary variables. The proposed synthetic chart encompasses the classical synthetic chart. The construction, optimal design, run length profiles, and the performance evaluation of the new chart are discussed in detail. It turns out that the proposed synthetic chart performs uniformly better than the classical synthetic chart when detecting different kinds of shifts in the process mean under both zero-state and steady-state run length performances. Moreover, with reasonable assumptions, the proposed chart also surpasses the exponentially weighted moving average control chart. An application with a simulated data set is also presented to explain the implementation of the proposed control chart. 相似文献

Many multivariate quality control techniques are used for multivariate variable processes, but few work for multivariate attribute processes. To monitor multivariate attributes, controlling the false alarms (type I errors) and considering the correlation between attributes are two important issues. By taking into account these two issues, a new control chart is presented to monitor a bivariate binomial process. An example is illustrated for the proposed method. To evaluate the performance of the proposed method, a simulation study is conducted to compare the results with those using both the multivariate np chart and skewness reduction approaches. The results show that the correlation is taken into account in the designed chart and the overall false alarm is controlled at the nominal value. Moreover, the process shift can be quickly detected and the variable that is responsible for a signal can be determined. 相似文献

In this article, we propose an exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) control chart for the shape parameter β of Weibull processes. The chart is based on a moving range when a single measurement is taken per sampling period. We consider both one-sided (lower-sided and upper-sided) and two-sided control charts. We perform simulations to estimate control limits that achieve a specified average run length (ARL) when the process is in control. The control limits we derive are ARL unbiased in that they result in ARL that is shorter than the stable-process ARL when β has shifted. We also perform simulations to determine Phase I sample size requirements if control limits are based on an estimate of β. We compare the ARL performance of the proposed chart to that of the moving range chart proposed in the literature. 相似文献
