In reliability theory or life testing, exponential distribution and Weibull distribution are frequently considered to model the lifetime of the components or systems. In this paper, we design a control chart based on the lifetime performance index using Type II censoring for exponential and Weibull distributions. Average run length helps to measure the performance of the proposed control chart. The optimal values of the number of failure items and decision criteria used to decide whether the process is in-control or out-of-control based on the sample results are determined such that the in-control average run length is as close as to the specified average run length values. We simulate the data to illustrate the performance of the proposed control chart.

Study Results

Statistical monitoring tools are well established in the literature, creating organizational cultures such as Six Sigma or Total Quality Management. Nevertheless, most of this literature is based on the normality assumption, e.g., based on the law of large numbers, and brings limitations towards truncated processes as open questions in this field. This work was motivated by the register of elements related to the water particles monitoring (relative humidity), an important source of moisture for the Copiapó watershed, and the Atacama region of Chile (the Atacama Desert), and presenting high asymmetry for rates and proportions data. This paper proposes a new control chart for interval data about rates and proportions (symbolic interval data) when they are not results of a Bernoulli process. The unit-Lindley distribution has many interesting properties, such as having only one parameter, from which we develop the unit-Lindley chart for both classical and symbolic data. The performance of the proposed control chart is analyzed using the average run length (ARL), median run length (MRL), and standard deviation of the run length (SDRL) metrics calculated through an extensive Monte Carlo simulation study. Results from the real data applications reveal the tool’s potential to be adopted to estimate the control limits in a Statistical Process Control (SPC) framework.

Abstract: Interpreting an out-of-control signal is a crucial step in monitoring categorical processes. For the Chi-Square Control Chart (CSCC), an out-of control situation does not specify if it was a process deterioration or a process improvement. For this reason, a weighted chi-square statistical control chart WSCC is proposed with different weighting categories in order to enable an accelerated disclosure of a control situation after a shift due to a deterioration of quality and on the other hand, decelerate an out of control situation after a shift due to a quality improvement. Furthermore, in comparison with Marcucci’s method, the new procedure provides an accurate and easier way to interpret several signals. In other words, the WSCC allows a faster detection of an out-of control situation in the case of a quality deterioration, however, an out-of control situation is not quickly detected in the case of a quality improvement. Indeed, comparative studies have been performed to find the best control chart for each combination. Concluding remarks with comments and recommendations are given based on Average Run Length (ARL) and standard deviation run length (SDRL).

The control chart based on a Poisson distribution has often been used to monitor the number of defects in sampling units. However, many false alarms could be observed due to extra zero counts, especially for high-quality processes. Therefore, some alternatives have been developed to alleviate this problem, one of which is the control chart based on the zero-inflated Poisson distribution. This distribution takes into account the extra zeros present in the data, and yield more accurate results than the Poisson distribution. However, implementing a control chart is often based on the assumption that the parameters are either known or an accurate estimate is available. For a high quality process, an accurate estimate may require a very large sample size, which is seldom available. In this paper the effect of estimation error is investigated. An analytical approximation is derived to compute shift detection probability and run length distribution. The study shows that the false alarm rates are higher than the desirable level for smaller values of the sample size. This is further supported by smaller average run length. In general, the quantitative results from this paper can be utilized to select a minimum size of the initial sample for estimating the control limits so that certain average run length requirements are met.

Ewma Control Chart

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to develop an exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) control chart based on the Wilcoxon rank-sum (WRS) statistic using repetitive sampling to improve the sensitivity of the EWMA control chart to process mean shifts regardless of the prior knowledge of the underlying process distribution. Design/methodology/approach The proposed chart is developed without any distributional assumption of the underlying quality process for monitoring the location parameter. The authors developed formulae as well as algorithms to facilitate the design and implementation of the proposed chart. The performance of the proposed chart is investigated in terms of the average run-length, standard deviation of the run-length (RL), average sample size and percentiles of the RL distribution. Numerical examples are given as illustration of the design and implementation of the proposed chart. Findings The proposed control chart presents very attractive RL properties and outperforms the existing nonparametric EWMA control chart based on the WRS in the detection of the mean process shifts in many situations. However, the performance of the proposed chart relatively deteriorates for small phase I sample sizes. Originality/value This study develops a new control chart for monitoring the process mean using a two-sample test regardless of the nature of the underlying process distribution. The proposed control chart does not require any assumption on the type (or nature) of the process distribution. It requires a small number of subgroups in order to reach stability in the phase II performance.

Process capability analysis has been widely applied in the field of quality control to monitor the performance of industrial processes. Hence, lifetime performance index CL is used to measure the potential and performance of a process. In the present study, we construct a maximum likelihood estimator of CL under Burr Type III distribution based on the progressive Type II censored sample. The maximum likelihood estimator of CL is then utilized to develop the hypothesis testing procedure in the condition of known L. Finally, one practical example and Monte Carlo simulation are given to assess the behavior of the lifetime performance index under given significance level.

One technique used in performing statistical quality control is by poisson control chart. Poisson control chart used in data that have the same mean and varians for monitoring the number of defects in the study. In some cases, the different sample sizes influence the control chart performance. The control chart performance can be measured using average run length (ARL). The smaller ARL’s value, the better type of control chart. In this study, we used different sample sizes  that is  and mean . The result show the best performance of control chart is when  and m = 200, because its has a smaller ARL’s value.

The performance of a control chart is commonly investigated based on the assumption of known process parameters. Nevertheless, in most manufacturing and service applications, the process parameters are usually unknown to practitioners. Hence, they are estimated from an in-control Phase-I samples. As such, the performance of the control chart with estimated process parameters will behave differently from the corresponding chart with known process parameters. To study this issue, the exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) median chart is examined in this article. The EWMA median chart is traditionally investigated based on the average run length (ARL). The limitation of the ARL is that it requires practitioners to specify the shift size in advance. This phenomenon is not ideal for practitioners who do not have background knowledge of the process. In view of this, the EWMA median chart with known and estimated process parameters is studied based on the ARL and expected average run length (EARL). The results indicate that as long as the particular shift size is within the range of shifts, the performance of the chart is almost the same, for the EWMA median chart with known and estimated process parameters.
