More recently in statistical quality control studies, researchers are paying more attention to quality characteristics having nonnormal distributions. In the present article, a generalized multiple dependent state (GMDS) sampling control chart is proposed based on the transformation of gamma quality characteristics into a normal distribution. The parameters for the proposed control charts are obtained using in-control average run length (ARL) at specified shape parametric values for different specified average run lengths. The out-of-control ARL of the proposed gamma control chart using GMDS sampling is explored using simulation for various shift size changes in scale parameters to study the performance of the control chart. The proposed gamma control chart performs better than the existing multiple dependent state sampling (MDS) based on gamma distribution and traditional Shewhart control charts in terms of average run lengths. A case study with real-life data from ICU intake to death caused by COVID-19 has been incorporated for the realistic handling of the proposed control chart design.

This paper proposes a new control chart for the Birnbaum–Saunders distribution based on multiple dependent state repetitive sampling (MDSRS). The proposed control chart is a generalization of the control charts based on single sampling, repetitive sampling, and multiple dependent state sampling. Its sensitivity is evaluated in terms of the average run length (ARL) using both exact formulae and simulations. A comprehensive comparison between the Birnbaum–Saunders distribution control chart based on the MDSRS method and other existing competing methods is provided using a simulation study as well as a real-life illustration. The results reveal that the proposed chart outperforms the existing charts considered in this study by having better shift detection ability.

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 practice, sometimes the process data did not come from a known population distribution. So the commonly used Shewhart variables control charts are not suitable since their performance could not be properly evaluated. In this paper, we propose a new EWMA Control Chart based on a simple statistic to monitor the small mean shifts in the process with non-normal or unknown distributions. The sampling properties of the new monitoring statistic are explored and the average run lengths of the proposed chart are examined. Furthermore, an Arcsine EWMA Chart is proposed since the average run lengths of the Arcsine EWMA Chart are more reasonable than those of the new EWMA Chart. The Arcsine EWMA Chart is recommended if we are concerned with the proper values of the average run length.

In this paper, a control chart scheme has been introduced for the mean monitoring using gamma distribution for belief statistics using multiple dependent (deferred) state sampling under the neutrosophic statistics. The coefficients of the control chart and the neutrosophic average run lengths have been estimated for specific false alarm probabilities under various process conditions. The offered chart has been compared with the existing classical chart through simulation and the real data. From the comparison, it is concluded that the performance of the proposed chart is better than that of the existing chart in terms of average run length under uncertain environment. The proposed chart has the ability to detect a shift quickly than the existing chart. It has been observed that the proposed chart is efficient in quick monitoring of the out-of-control process and a cherished addition in the toolkit of the quality control personnel.

In this paper, a new control chart scheme has been developed for monitoring the production process mean using successive sampling over two occasions. The proposed chart reduces to three different existing control charts under different assumptions and is compared with these three existing control charts for monitoring the process average. It has been observed that the proposed control chart performs better than the other existing control charts in terms of average run length (ARL). A simulation study using an artificial data set was included for demonstrating the process shift detection power of the proposed control chart.

This paper designed a moving average sampling method for small samples, further designed moving average (MA) control chart and moving average cumulative sum (MACS) control chart respectively, and calculated the in-control and out-of-control average run length for both charts. The charts are robust, which can monitor the process state effectively without knowing the distribution. Through analyzing the control chart costs and quality loss that is related to the production lot size, the control chart parameters are reasonably optimized. By comparing the average run lengths and some numerical examples, the paper finds that MACS chart has a good performance on detecting small shift within the small samples under the nonparametric condition.

We provide the complete design of a hybrid exponentially weighted moving average (HEWMA) control chart for COM-Poisson distribution. The necessary measures of the proposed control chart are given in this manuscript, and the average run lengths (ARLs) are determined through Monte Carlo simulation for various values of specified parameters. The performance of the proposed chart is compared with two existing control charts. The proposed chart is more efficient than these two existing charts in terms of ARLs; application of the proposed chart is described with the help of Montgomery’s data ( Introduction to Statistical Quality Control, John Wiley & Sons, New York, 2007).

In this paper the average run length is adopted as the tool to describe the performance of control charts. The respective methods for calculating the average run length of the modified Shewhart control chart and the Shewhart residual control chart for 2-order autoregressive process are derived and shown in detail. By the proposed approach some numerical results of average run lengths of both Shewhart type charts are formulated and discussed. We analyze and compare that the influence of the correlation coefficients of the 2-order autoregressive process on the performance of both charts based on the estimated data. Several clear and main points of the issue are summed up. Lastly, we give some recommendations for the choice of both Shewhart type control schemes.

In this article, modified multiple dependent (or deferred) state sampling control charts for the attribute and the variable quality characteristics are presented. The proposed control charts are designed using the symmetry property of the normal distribution. The control chart coefficients are estimated through simulation at different levels of the parameters using the normal distribution. The proposed control chart scheme is evaluated by calculating the in-control average run lengths and out-of-control average run lengths. Tables are constructed for the selection of parameters for different control limit coefficients under several shift levels for the attribute data as well as the variable data. Examples are included for the practical application of the proposed control chart schemes. The proposed control chart scheme is also compared with the existing control charts. It has been observed that the proposed schemes are better in quick detection of the out-of-control processes.

Data privacy is a serious issue and therefore needs our attention. In this study, we propose masking through randomized response techniques (RRTs) to ensure the privacy and thus to avoid falsification. We assume that the process characteristic is of sensitive nature, and due to privacy issue, the actual measurements cannot be shared with the monitoring team. In such situations, the producer is very likely to falsify the measurements. Consequently, the usual control charting techniques will mislead about the process status. We discuss different data masking strategies to be used with Shewhart-type control charts. The usual Shewhart-type control chart appears to be a subchart of the proposed charts. Average run length (ARL) is used as a performance measure of the study proposals. We have evaluated the performance of the proposed charts for different shift sizes and under different intensities of masking. We have also carried out a comparative analysis for various models under varying sensitivity parameters. We have also compared the performance of the proposals with the traditional Shewhart chart. It is observed that the B-L control chart under the RRT model performs better for smaller shifts and for larger shift sizes, the G-B chart under an unrelated question model tperforms better. A real-life application of the study proposal is also considered where monitoring of thickness of paint on refrigerators is of interest.
