Control charts are commonly applied for monitoring and controlling the performance of the manufacturing process. Usually, control charts are designed based on the main quality characteristics variable. However, there exist numerous other variables which are highly associated with the main variable. Therefore, generalized linear model (GLM)-based control charts were used, which are capable of maintaining the relationship between variables and of monitoring an abrupt change in the process mean. This study is an effort to develop the Phase II GLM-based memory type control charts using the deviance residuals (DR) and Pearson residuals (PR) of inverse Gaussian (IG) regression model. For evaluation, a simulation study is designed, and the performance of the proposed control charts is compared with the counterpart memory less control charts and data-based control charts (excluding the effect of covariate) in terms of the run length properties. Based on the simulation study, it is concluded that the exponential weighted moving average (EWMA) type control charts have better detection ability as compared with Shewhart and cumulative sum (CUSUM) type control charts under the small or/and moderate shift sizes. Moreover, it is shown that utilizing covariate may lead to useful conclusions. Finally, the proposed monitoring methods is implemented on the dataset related to the yarn manufacturing industry to highlight the importance of the proposed control chart.
