Control Limits

The multivariate Hotelling's T2 control chart is designed to be used in a mass production for processes where data to estimate the mean vector and covariance matrix as well as the computation of control limits are available before a production run. Recent years have seen a trend in manufacturing industries to produce smaller lot sizes, a.k.a., low volume production which is a result of increased importance given to just-in-time (JIT) manufacturing techniques, synchronous manufacturing and the reduction of in-process inventory and costs. This new manufacturing environment is also referred to as short runs production or short runs. In a short runs environment, it is difficult or perhaps impossible to establish a reliable historical data set in setting valid control limits and in estimating process parameters due to the availability of insufficient data for a particular process because production runs are usually short and change frequently from one process to another. There is also a need to start charting at or very near the beginning of the run in such a case. Another problem encountered in a short runs production such as in job shops is that there are many different types of measurements so that many different control charts are needed. Standardized control charts that allow different statistics to be plotted on the same chart are extremely useful in short runs. Control charts with standard scale simplify the control charting process in a short runs environment. In this paper, we address the multivariate short runs problems for process dispersion based on individual measurements by presenting the required formulas so that the chart can be used from the start of production, whether or not prior information for estimating the chart's limit and its parameter is available. The proposed chart plots standardized statistics for multiple parts on the same chart. This paper extends the work of the authors in Ref. 13.

Control Limits

Control charts are made to identify assignable causes of difference that could exist in production processes. It is usually believed the probability distribution which represents the actual observations includes a known functional form and it is constant as time passes. However, in reality, observations obtained through continuous and discrete procedures in many cases are serially correlated. Autocorrelation not just breaks the actual independence assumption of conventional control charts, but also can impact the efficiency associated with control charts negatively. In this article, we are going to investigate the impact of autocorrelation to the performance of Hotelling T2 control chart in which autocorrelated data were utilized to construct the Hotelling’s T2 chart with induced autocorrelation from various levels of correlation at different sample sizes. Simulations had been done to generate the data set used to construct the Hotelling’s T2 control chart and the outcomes implies that all of the control charts constructed had their points outside the designed control limits, that confirmed the effect of autocorrelation to the performance of the Hotelling’s T2 control chart. Suggestions on how to tackle the problem was proposed.

Two Parameter

In this paper, two methods of control chart were proposed to monitor the process based on the two-parameter Gompertz distribution. The proposed methods are the Gompertz Shewhart approach and Gompertz skewness correction method. A simulation study was conducted to compare the performance of the proposed chart with that of the skewness correction approach for various sample sizes. Furthermore, real-life data on thickness of paint on refrigerators which are nonnormal data that have attributes of a Gompertz distribution were used to illustrate the proposed control chart. The coverage probability (CP), control limit interval (CLI), and average run length (ARL) were used to measure the performance of the two methods. It was found that the Gompertz exact method where the control limits are calculated through the percentiles of the underline distribution has the highest coverage probability, while the Gompertz Shewhart approach and Gompertz skewness correction method have the least CLI and ARL. Hence, the two-parameter Gompertz-based methods would detect out-of-control faster for Gompertz-based X¯ charts.

In the field of statistical process control (SPC), usually two issues are addressed; the variables and the attribute quality characteristics control charting. Focusing on discrete data generated from a process to be monitored, attributes control charts would be useful. The discrete data could be classified into two categories; the independent and auto-correlated data. Regarding the independence in the sequence of discrete data, the typical Shewhart-based control charts, such as p-chart and np-chart would be effective enough to monitor the related process. But considering auto-correlation in the sequence of the data, such control charts would not workanymore. In this paper, considering the auto-correlated sequence of X1, X2,…, Xt,… as the sequence of zeros or ones, we have developed a control chart based on a two-state Markov model. This control chart is compared with the previously developed charts in terms of the average number of observations (ANOS) measure. In addition, a case study related to the diabetic people is investigated to demonstrate the applicability and high performance of the developed chart.

Normally Distributed

The fundamental assumption of variable control charts is that the data are normally distributed and spread randomly about the mean. Process data are not always normally distributed, hence there is need to set up appropriate control charts that gives accurate control limits to monitor processes that are skewed. In this study Shewhart-type control charts for monitoring positively skewed data that are assumed to be from Marshall-Olkin Inverse Loglogistic Distribution (MOILLD) was developed. Average Run Length (ARL) and Control Limits Interval (CLI) were adopted to assess the stability and performance of the MOILLD control chart. The results obtained were compared with Classical Shewhart (CS) and Skewness Correction (SC) control charts using the ARL and CLI. It was discovered that the control charts based on MOILLD performed better and are more stable compare to CS and SC control charts. It is therefore recommended that for positively skewed data, a Marshall-Olkin Inverse Loglogistic Distribution based control chart will be more appropriate.

<p><em>The manufacturing production process that is currently trend is short-run. Short-run process is a job shop and a just in-time. These causes the process parameters to be unknown due to unavailability of data and generally a small amount of product. The control chart is one of the control charts which  designed for the short run. The procedure of the control chart follows the concept of succesive difference and under the assumption of the multivariate Normal distribution. The sensitivity level of a control chart is evaluated based on the average run length (ARL) value. In this study, the ARL value was calculated based on the shift simulation of the average vector by recording the first m-point out of the control limits. The average vector shift simulation of the target () is performed simultaneously with the properties of a positive shift (=+ δ). Variations of data size and many variables in this study were m = 20, 50 and p = 2, 4, 8, respectively. Each scheme (a combination of δ, m and p) is iterated 250,000 times. The simulation results show that for all schemes when both parameters are known ARL<sub>0 </sub>≈ 370. But, when parameters are unknown, ARL<sub>1</sub> turn to smaller. This conclusion also implied when the number of p and n are increased, it reduce the sensitivity of the control chart.</em></p>

When the production run is short and process parameters change frequently, it is difficult to monitor the process using traditional control charts. In such a case, the coefficient of variation (CV) is very useful for monitoring the process variability. The CV control chart, however, is not sensitive at small shift in the magnitude of CV. The CV-EWMA (exponentially weighted moving average) control chart which was developed recently is effective in detecting a small shifts of CV. In this paper, we propose the CV-DEWMA control chart, combining the DEWMA (double exponentially weighted moving average) technique. We show that CV-DEWMA control chart perform better than CV-EWMA control chart in detecting small shifts when sample size n is larger than 5.

Moderate distribution proposed by Naik V.D and Desai J.M., is a sound alternative of normal distribution, which has mean and mean deviation as pivotal parameters and which has properties similar to normal distribution. Mean deviation (δ) is a very good alternative of standard deviation (σ) as mean deviation is considered to be the most intuitively and rationally defined measure of dispersion. This fact can be very useful in the field of quality control to construct the control limits of the control charts. On the basis of this fact Naik V.D. and Tailor K.S. have proposed 3δ control limits. In 3δ control limits, the upper and lower control limits are set at 3δ distance from the central line where δ is the mean deviation of sampling distribution of the statistic being used for constructing the control chart. In this paper assuming that the underlying distribution of the variable of interest follows moderate distribution proposed by Naik V.D and Desai J.M, 3δ control limits of sample standard deviation(s) chart are derived. Also the performance analysis of the control chart is carried out with the help of OC curve analysis and ARL curve analysis.

Most robust control charts in the literature are for monitoring process location parameters, such as mean or median, rather than process dispersion parameters. This paper develops a new robust control chart by integrating a two-sample nonparametric test into the effective change-point model. Our proposed chart is easy in computation, convenient to use, and very powerful in detecting process dispersion shifts.

Real Life Data

Conventional control charts are one of the most important techniques in statistical process control which are used to assess the performance of processes to see whether they are in- or out-of-control. As traditional control charts deal with crisp data, they are not suitable to study unclear, vague, and fuzzy data. In many real-world applications, however, the data to be used in a control charting method are not crisp since they are approximated due to environmental uncertainties and systematic ambiguities involved in the systems under investigation. In these situations, fuzzy numbers and linguistic variables are used to grab such uncertainties. That is why the use of a fuzzy control chart, in which fuzzy data are used, is justified. As an exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) scheme is usually used to detect small shifts, in this paper a fuzzy EWMA (F-EWMA) control chart is proposed to detect small shifts in the process mean when fuzzy data are available. The application of the newly developed fuzzy control chart is illustrated using real-life data.
