Water is one of the most important elements for human life, water treatment is done for human consumption and must fulfill the health requirements with the levels of certain parameters. Quality of Water Treatment II is the second water purification installation owned by PDAM Tirta Moedal Semarang City with production capacity of 60 l/s. Variables used in the water treatment process are correlated with each other, so used multivariate control chart. The Multivariate Exponentially Weighted Moving Average control chart is used for monitoring process mean, and the Multivariate Exponentially Weighted Moving Variance control chart is used for monitoring process variability. The variables used are colour, turbidity, organic substance, manganese and the total dissolved solid. MEWMA control chart with λ = 0.5, showed that the process mean is controlled statistically. MEWMV control chart showed that variability is controlled statistically in λ = 0.4, ω = 0.2 and L = 3.3213. MEWMA and MEWMV control chart showed that the process is not capable because it obtained the value of process capability index less than 1. Keywords: Water, Multivariate Exponentially Weighted Moving Average, Multivariate Exponentially Weighted Moving Variance, process capability.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to propose a double exponentially weighted moving average control chart using repetitive sampling (RS-DEWMA) for a normally distributed process variable to improve the efficiency of detecting small process mean shift. Design/methodology/approach The algorithm for the implementation of the proposed chart is developed and the formulae for the in-control and out-of-control average run lengths (ARLs) are derived. Tables of ARLs are presented for various process mean shift. The performance of the proposed chart is investigated in terms of the average run-length for small process mean shift and compared with the existing DEWMA control chart. Numerical examples are given as illustration of the design and implementation of the proposed chart. Findings The proposed control chart is more efficient than the existing DEWMA control chart in the detection of small process mean shifts as it consistently gives smaller ARL values and quickly detects the process shift. However, the performance of the proposed chart relatively deteriorates for large smoothing constants. Practical implications The application of repetitive sampling in the control chart literature is gaining wide acceptability. The design and implementation of the RS-DEWMA control chart offers a new approach in the detection of small process mean shift by process control personnel. Originality/value This paper fills a gap in the literature by examining the performance of the repetitive sampling DEWMA control chart. The use of repetitive sampling technique in the control chart is discussed in the literature, however, its use based on the DEWMA statistic has not been considered in this context.

A classical Demerit control chart is used to monitor the process through which various types of defects in complex products, such as automobiles, computers, mobile phones, etc. are found in general. As a technique for rapidly detecting small shifts of the process mean in the control chart, the EWMA(exponentially weighted moving average) technique is very effective. This study suggested the Demerit-GWMA control chart, combining the GWMA(generally weighted moving average) technique, which shows better performance than EWMA technique in detecting small shifts of process mean, into the classical Demerit control chart, and evaluated its performance. Through the evaluation of its performance, it was found that the Demerit-GWMA control chart is more sensitive than both the classical Demerit control chart and the Demerit-EWMA control chart in detecting small shifts of process mean.

A synthetic control chart for detecting shifts in the process mean integrates the Shewhart [Formula: see text] chart and the conforming run length chart. It is known to outperform the Shewhart [Formula: see text] chart for all magnitudes of shifts and is also superior to the exponentially weighted moving average chart and the joint [Formula: see text]-exponentially weighted moving average charts for shifts of greater than 0.8σ in the mean. A synthetic chart for the mean assumes that the underlying process follows a normal distribution. In many real situations, the normality assumption may not hold. This paper proposes a synthetic control chart to monitor the process mean of skewed populations. The proposed synthetic chart uses a method based on a weighted variance approach of setting up the control limits of the [Formula: see text] sub-chart for skewed populations when process parameters are known and unknown. For symmetric populations, however, the limits of the new [Formula: see text] sub-chart are equivalent to that of the existing [Formula: see text] sub-chart which assumes a normal underlying distribution. The proposed synthetic chart based on the weighted variance method is compared by Monte Carlo simulation with many existing control charts for skewed populations when the underlying populations are Weibull, lognormal, gamma and normal and it is generally shown to give the most favourable results in terms of false alarm and mean shift detection rates.
