The cumulative sum (CUSUM) and the exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) charts are renowned classical memory charts used to monitor small and moderate shifts in the process(s). Mixed memory charts like mixed EWMA-CUSUM (MEC) and mixed CUSUM-EWMA (MCE) are the advanced forms of classical memory charts used to identify shifts quickly in process parameters (location and/or dispersion). Similarly, the homogeneously weighted moving average (HWMA) chart is used for improved process monitoring. It will be worthwhile to combine the HWMA chart features with the existing mixed memory (MCE and MEC) charts to enhance the effectiveness of the mixed memory charts. Therefore, we proposed new charts: mixed HWMA-homogeneously CUSUM (MHWHC) and mixed homogeneously CUSUM-HWMA (MHCHW) charts. The Monte Carlo simulations are used to evaluate the proposed charts’ effectiveness. The average run length (ARL) is utilized to compare the proposed MHWHC and MHCHW charts’ performance with existing charts such as classical CUSUM and EWMA, MEC, MCE, and HWMA charts. The comparison revealed that the proposed mixed charts are superior to the existing counterparts, specifically monitoring small and moderate shifts. Finally, a real-life application using the manufacturing process’s data set is also provided from a practical point of view.

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.

A double exponentially weighted moving average chart has been proven more efficient for monitoring process mean in comparison to the classical exponentially weighted moving average chart. We, in this article, made a careful investigation on how well this scheme performs with the presence of disturbances in the process under consideration. This investigation was motivated in exploring the scheme with some robust statistic, as the mean estimator performs woefully. We also evaluated the effects of parameter estimation on the phase II assuming the parameters are unknown. Adopting a 20% trimmed mean of trimeans (robust) reveals the effect of parameter estimations. We substantiated these claims by applying the scheme on a real-life data set. The findings of the study pronounced the trimean estimator to be the best of all the five estimators used, including the mean.

The combined effect of serial dependency and measurement errors is known to negatively affect the statistical efficiency of any monitoring scheme. However, for the recently proposed homogenously weighted moving average (HWMA) scheme, the research that exists concerns independent and identically distributed observations and measurement errors only. Thus, in this paper, the HWMA scheme for monitoring the process mean under the effect of within-sample serial dependence with measurement errors is proposed for both constant and linearly increasing measurement system variance. Monte Carlo simulation is used to evaluate the run-length distribution of the proposed HWMA scheme. A mixed-s&m sampling strategy is incorporated to the HWMA scheme to reduce the negative effect of serial dependence and measurement errors and its performance is compared to the existing Shewhart scheme. An example is given to illustrate how to implement the proposed HWMA scheme for use in real-life applications.

 Pada umumnya peta kendali yang sering digunakan dalam pengendalian kualitas statistik adalah peta kendali Shewhart. Peta kendali ini bekerja hanya dengan menggunakan informasi yang terkandung dalam titik sampel terakhir dan mengabaikan informasi dari seluruh barisan titik sampel sebelumnya. Hal ini membuat peta kendali Shewhart kurang efektif dalam mendeteksi pergeseran rata-rata yang relatif kecil pada proses produksi. Sebagai alternatif, dikembangkan peta kendali Cumulative Sum (Cusum) dan peta kendali Exponentially Weighted Moving Average (EWMA). Penelitian ini menerapkan peta kendali Cusum dan peta kendali EWMA serta membandingkan kinerjanya dalam mendeteksi pergeseran rata-rata yang relatif kecil pada data produksi. Tahapan pengerjaan dimulai dari melakukan analisis peta kendali Cusum dan peta kendali EWMA dengan menghitung nilai statistik, batas kendali, dan membentuk grafik setiap peta kendali. Selanjutnya, dihitung nilai Average Run Length (ARL) sebagai acuan untuk membandingkan kinerja kedua peta kendali. Berdasarkan hasil penerapannya pada produksi wajan nomor 18 di CV. XYZ, pada peta kendali Cusum tidak terdapat titik-titik yang berada di luar batas kendali. Namun, pada peta kendali EWMA mampu mendeteksi adanya 9 titik yang berada di luar batas kendali sehingga proses produksi tidak terkendali secara statistik. Selain itu berdasarkan perolehan nilai ARL, diketahui nilai ARL peta kendali EWMA menunjukkan hasil yang lebih kecil yaitu sebesar 45,832 dibandingkan dengan nilai ARL peta kendali Cusum yang sebesar 69,108. Dari hasil analisis didapat kesimpulan bahwa peta kendali EWMA lebih efektif daripada peta kendali Cusum dalam mendeteksi adanya pergeseran rata-rata yang relatif kecil pada produksi wajan nomor 18 di CV. XYZ. Kata Kunci: Cusum, EWMA, ARL

The existing charts for monitoring the variance are designed under the assumption that all production data must consist of exact, precise, and determined observations. This paper presents the design of a new neutrosophic exponentially weighted moving average (NEWMA) combining with a neutrosophic logarithmic transformation chart for monitoring the variance having neutrosophic numbers. The computation of the neutrosophic control chart parameters is done through the neutrosophic Monte Carlo simulation (NMCS). The performance of the proposed chart is discussed with the existing charts.

Organizations today are required to be prepared for future situations. This preparation can generate a significant competitive advantage. In order to maximize benefits, several companies are investing more in techniques that simulate a future scenario and enable more precise and assertive decision making. Among these techniques are the sales forecasting methods. The comparison between the known techniques is an important factor to increase the assertiveness of the forecast. The objective of this study was to compare the sales forecast results of a mechanical components manufacturing company obtained through five different techniques, divided into two groups, the first one, which uses the fundamentals of the time series, and the second one is the Monte Carlo simulation. The following prediction methods were compared: moving average, weighted moving average, least squares, holt winter and Monte Carlo simulation. The results indicated that the methods that obtained the best performance were the moving average and the weighted moving average attaining 94% accuracy.

The exponential weighted moving average (EWMA) statistic is utilized the past information along with the present to enhance the efficiency of the estimators of the population parameters. In this study, the EWMA statistic is used to estimate the population mean with auxiliary information. The memory type ratio and product estimators are proposed under stratified sampling (StS). Mean square errors (MSE) expressions and relative efficiencies of the proposed estimators are derived. An extensive simulation study is conducted to evaluate the performance of the proposed estimators. An empirical study is presented based on real-life data that supports the findings of the simulation study.
