    A Time Truncated Moving Average Chart for the Weibull Distribution

    Get PDF
    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

    A New S-2 Control Chart Using Multiple Dependent State Repetitive Sampling

    The combined application of multiple dependent state sampling and the repetitive group sampling (RGS) is an efficient sampling scheme for industrial process monitoring as it combines the advantages of both the sampling schemes. In this paper, a new variance control chart has been proposed, when the interesting quality characteristic follows the normal distribution using the combination of these two efficient sampling schemes called multiple dependent state repetitive sampling. The control chart coefficients and parameters have been estimated through simulation for the in-control process by considering the target in-control average run lengths under different process settings. The efficiency of the proposed chart has been determined by computing the out-of-control ARL for different shift levels. The advantages of the proposed monitoring scheme have been discussed and compared with the existing RGS scheme and the single sampling scheme. A simulated example and a real industrial data have been included to demonstrate the application of the proposed monitoring scheme. It has been observed that the proposed chart is a valuable addition to the toolkit of the quality monitoring personnel.11Ysciescopu

    An Attribute Control Chart Based on the Birnbaum-Saunders Distribution Using Repetitive Sampling

    Get PDF
    In this paper, an attribute control chart using repetitive sampling is proposed when the lifetime of a product follows the Birnbaum Saunders distribution. The number of failures is to be monitored by designing two pairs of upper and lower control limits. The necessary measurements are derived to assess the average run length (ARL). The various tables for ARLs are presented when the scale parameter and/or the shape parameter are shifted. The efficiency of the proposed control chart is compared with an existing chart. The proposed chart is shown to be more efficient than an existing control chart in terms of ARL. A real example is given for illustration purpose.112Ysciescopu

    ABSTRACT In this paper, we proposed a new ranked data control chart using repetitive sampling criterion to increase the performance of detecting any shift in mean process. For the comparisons target, the average run length (ARL) of the proposed control chart based on repetitive extreme ranked set sampling computed using exact and estimated parameters. The results showed that the ARL affected negatively by the parameter estimation. Moreover, the performances of the proposed control chart is evaluated and compared with similar control chart that obtained by using different sampling schemes such as the simple random sampling, ranked set sampling, extreme ranked set sampling and repetitive ranked set sampling.. The results showed that the ranked data based control chart outperform the classical control chart in terms of the ARL

    A Variable Control Chart Based on Process Capability Index Under Generalized Multiple Dependent State Sampling

    Get PDF
    This paper proposed a process capability index-based control chart under the new extended form of multiple-dependent state sampling (MDS) named generalized MDS (GMDS). The scheme is based on inner and outer control limits and utilizes the previous state of the samples. The performance comparisons of the proposed chart with the existing charts are made by using out-of-control ARL. The simulation study showed the superiority of the proposed chart over the existing PCI-based control charts under Shewhart and MDS schemes. An empirical illustration is also given to demonstrate the application of the proposed chart.11Ysciescopu

    A Control Chart for Gamma Distribution using Multiple Dependent State Sampling

    Get PDF
    In this article, a control chart based on multiple dependent (or deferred) state sampling for the gamma distributed quality characteristic is proposed using the gamma to normal transformation. The proposed control chart has two pairs of control limits, which can be determined by considering the in-control average run length (ARL). The shift in the scale parameter of a gamma distribution is considered and the out-of-control ARL is evaluated. The performance of the proposed chart has been shown for different levels of the parameters of the proposed control chart. It is also shown that the proposed chart is better than the Shewhart chart in terms of ARLs. A case study with a real data has been included for the practical usage of the proposed scheme. ? 2017 KIIE.11Yscopuskc

    A Multivariate Control Chart for Monitoring Several Exponential Quality Characteristics Using EWMA

    Get PDF
    In this paper, we propose a new multivariate control chart for monitoring several exponential distributed characteristics. We transform each exponential variable into the one following an approximately normal distribution. The control statistic of the proposed chart is constructed using the exponentially weighted moving average. The performance of the proposed control chart is studied using the average run length according to the process shift. Some tables are presented for bivariate and trivariate cases. The application of the proposed control chart is discussed with the help of simulated data.11Ysciescopu

    Mixed control charts using EWMA Statistics

    Get PDF
    In this paper, two mixed control charts are designed for process monitoring when the quality characteristic of interest follows a normal distribution. The mixed control chart starts with monitoring the number of non-conforming items but switches to monitoring using exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) statistic or hybrid EWMA statistic when the decision is indeterminate with the attribute data. The average run lengths are calculated to evaluate the performance of the proposed control charts according to the mean shift. The performance of both control charts is compared with each other and with the existing control chart. Simulation study is given to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed control charts.1150Ysciescopu
