Multivariate Statistical Process Control Charts: An Overview

In this paper we discuss the basic procedures for the implementation of multivariate statistical process control via control charting. Furthermore, we review multivariate extensions for all kinds of univariate control charts, such as multivariate Shewhart-type control charts, multivariate CUSUM control charts and multivariate EWMA control charts. In addition, we review unique procedures for the construction of multivariate control charts, based on multivariate statistical techniques such as principal components analysis (PCA) and partial lest squares (PLS). Finally, we describe the most significant methods for the interpretation of an out-of-control signal.quality control, process control, multivariate statistical process control, Hotelling's T-square, CUSUM, EWMA, PCA, PLS

ARL Evaluation of a DEWMA Control Chart for Autocorrelated Data: A Case Study on Prices of Major Industrial Commodities

The double exponentially weighted moving average (DEWMA) control chart, an extension of the EWMA control chart, is a useful statistical process control tool for detecting small shift sizes in the mean of processes with either independent or autocorrelated observations. In this study, we derived explicit formulas to compute the average run length (ARL) for a moving average of order q (MA(q)) process with exponential white noise running on a DEWMA control chart and verified their accuracy by comparison with the numerical integral equation (NIE) method. The results for both were in good agreement with the actual ARL. To investigate the efficiency of the proposed procedure on the DEWMA control chart, a performance comparison between it and the standard and modified EWMA control charts was also conducted to determine which provided the smallest out-of-control ARL value for several scenarios involving MA(q) processes. It was found that the DEWMA control chart provided the lowest out-of-control ARL for all cases of varying the exponential smoothing parameter and shift size values. To illustrate the efficacy of the proposed methodology, the presented approach was applied to datasets of the prices of several major industrial commodities in Thailand. The findings show that the DEWMA procedure performed well in almost all of the scenarios tested. Doi: 10.28991/ESJ-2023-07-05-020 Full Text: PD

A Nonparametric HEWMA-p Control Chart for Variance in Monitoring Processes

Control charts are considered as powerful tools in detecting any shift in a process. Usually, the Shewhart control chart is used when data follows the symmetrical property of a normal distribution. In practice, the data from the industry may follow a non-symmetrical distribution or an unknown distribution. The average run length (ARL) is a significant measure to assess the performance of the control chart. The ARL may mislead when the statistic is computed from an asymmetric distribution. To handle this issue, in this paper, an ARL-unbiased hybrid exponentially weighted moving average proportion (HEWMA-p) chart is proposed for monitoring the process variance for a non-normal distribution or an unknown distribution. The efficiency of the proposed chart is compared with the existing chart in terms of ARLs. The proposed chart is more efficient than the existing chart in terms of ARLs. A real example is given for the illustration of the proposed chart in the industry.11Ysciescopu

Improving Sensitivity of the DEWMA Chart with Exact ARL Solution under the Trend AR(p) Model and Its Applications

The double exponentially weighted moving average (DEWMA) chart is a control chart that is a vital analytical tool for keeping track of the quality of a process, and the sensitivity of the control chart to the process is evaluated using the average run length (ARL). Herein, the aim of this study is to derive the explicit formula of the ARL on the DEWMA chart with the autoregressive with trend model and its residual, which is exponential white noise. This study shows that this proposed method was compared to the ARL derived using the numerical integral equation (NIE) approach, and the explicit ARL formula decreased the computing time. By changing exponential parameters that were relevant to evaluating in various circumstances, the sensitivity of AR(p) with the trend model with the DEWMA chart was investigated. These were compared with the EWMA and CUSUM charts in terms of the ARL, standard deviation run length (SDRL), and median run length (MRL). The results indicate that the DEWMA chart has the highest performance, and when it was small, the DEWMA chart had high sensitivity for detecting processes. Digital currencies are utilized to demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed method; the results are consistent with the simulated data. Doi: 10.28991/ESJ-2023-07-06-03 Full Text: PD

A Time Truncated Moving Average Chart for the Weibull Distribution

A control chart of monitoring the number of failures is proposed with a moving average scheme, when the life of an item follows a Weibull distribution. A specified number of items are put on a time truncated life test and the number of failures is observed. The proposed control chart has been evaluated by the average run lengths (ARLs) under different parameter settings. The control constant and the test time multiplier are to be determined by considering the in-control ARL. It is observed that the proposed control chart is more efficient in detecting a shift in the process as compared with the existing time truncated control chart. ? 2013 IEEE.11Ysciescopu
