Nonparametric Techniques

<p>In monitoring process parameters, we assume normality of the quality characteristic of interest, which is an ideal assumption. In many practical sit- uations, we may not know the distributional behavior of the data, and hence, the need arises use nonparametric techniques. In this study, a nonparametric double EWMA control chart, namely the NPDEWMA chart, is proposed to ensure efficient monitoring of the location parameter. The performance of the proposed chart is evaluated in terms of different run length properties, such as average, standard deviation and percentiles. The proposed scheme is compared with its recent existing counterparts, namely the nonparametric EWMA and the nonparametric CUSUM schemes. The performance mea- sures used are the average run length (ARL), standard deviation of the run length (SDRL) and extra quadratic loss (EQL). We observed that the pro- posed chart outperforms the said existing schemes to detect shifts in the process mean level. We also provide an illustrative example for practical considerations.</p>

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.

Proper Design

Control charts are widely used to monitor the process parameters. Proper design structure and implementation of a control chart requires its in-control robustness, otherwise, its performance cannot be fairly observed. It is important to know whether a chart is sensitive to disturbances to the model (e.g. normality under which it is developed) or not. This study, explores the robustness of Mixed EWMA-CUSUM (MEC) control chart for location parameter under different non-normal and contaminated environments and compares it with its counterparts. The robustness of the MEC scheme and counterparts is evaluated by using the run length distributions, and for better assessment not only is in-control average run length (ARL) used, but also standard deviation of run length (SDRL) and different percentiles – that is, 5th, 50th and 95th– are considered. A careful insight is necessary in selection and application of control charts in non-normal and contaminated environments. It is observed that the in-control robustness performance of the MEC scheme is quite good in the case of normal, non-normal and contaminated normal distributions as compared with its competitor’s schemes.

Work First

In the present paper, we develop a fuzzy bivariate Poisson (FBP) control chart based on a fuzzy c chart. The FBP chart is used to monitor the sum of the nonconformities of each quality characteristic. There are two contributions of this work. First, we propose a new fuzzy parameter estimation to create a triangular fuzzy number (TFN). Second, our control chart is flexible, because we involve the α c u t to measure the level of tightness of inspection. Furthermore, the statistic of FBP is being able to visualise the monitoring process in a graphical form. In addition, the simulation study indicates that the performance of our proposed chart, based on average run length (ARL), is more sensitive than the performance of a conventional bivariate Poisson (BP) chart. Moreover, an illustration example shows that the FBP chart has relatively more sensitive performance compared to the conventional BP chart.

Shift Detection

It is essential to monitor the mean of a process regarding quality characteristics for the ongoing production. For enhancement of mean monitoring power of the exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) chart, a new median quartile double ranked set sampling (MQDRSS) based EWMA control chart is proposed and named as EWMA-MQDRSS chart. In order to study the performance of the developed EWMA-MQDRSS chart, performance measures; average run length, and the standard deviation of run length are used. The shift detection ability of the proposed chart has been compared with counterparts, under the simple random sampling and ranking based sampling techniques. The extensive simulation-based results indicate that the EWMA-MQDRSS chart performs better to trace all kinds of shifts than the existing charts. An illustrative application concerning monitoring the diameter of the piston ring of a machine is also provided to demonstrate the practical utilization of the suggested chart.

The S2-EWMA (called the S square exponentially weighted moving average) control chart is effective in detecting small and moderate process variance shifts. Previously, the chart was designed based on the assumption that the distribution of the quality characteristic is normally distributed. This study designs the S2-EWMA control chart for skewed distributions. The skewed distributions considered in this paper are the lognormal and gamma distributions. The performance of the S2-EWMA control chart is compared with that of the traditional Shewhart S-chart, in terms of median run length (MRL), based on simulation using the Statistical Analysis System (SAS). The results show that regardless of the type of skewed distributions, sample size and skewness level, , in most of the cases, the S2-EWMA chart outperforms the S-chart. Moreover, the findings reveal that the MRL performances of the S-chart and S2-EWMA chart are significantly influenced by skewed distributions.

Normally Distributed

From the principles of statistical process control, the observations are assumed to be identically and independently normally distributed, although this assumption is frequently untrue in practice. Therefore, control charts have been developed for monitoring and detecting data which are autocorrelated. Recently, a modified exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) control chart has been introduced that is a correction of the EWMA statistic and is very effective for detecting small and abrupt changes in independent normally distributed or autocorrelated observations. In this study, the performance of a modified EWMA chart is investigated by examining the 2 sides of the exact average run length based on an explicit formula when the observations are from a general-order moving average process with exponential white noise. A performance comparison of the EWMA and the modified EWMA control charts is also presented. In addition, the performance of the modified and EWMA control charts is contrasted using Dow Jones composite average from a real-life dataset. The findings suggest that the modified EWMA control chart is more sensitive than the EWMA control chart for almost every case of the studied smoothing parameter and constant values of the control chart. HIGHLIGHTS Autocorrelation data is frequency untrue of assumption practice in time series data Modified EWMA is a new control chart that is effective for detecting change in independent normal distribution and autocorrelated observations The efficiency of the control chart is measured by average run length Explicit formula is easy to derive and provides the exact value of the average run length

Moving Average Processes

The aim of this study was to derive explicit formulas of the average run length (ARL) of a cumulative sum (CUSUM) control chart for seasonal and non-seasonal moving average processes with exogenous variables, and then evaluate it against the numerical integral equation (NIE) method. Both methods had similarly excellent agreement, with an absolute percentage error of less than 0.50%. When compared to other methods, the explicit formula method is extremely useful for finding optimal parameters when other methods cannot. In this work, the procedure for obtaining optimal parameters—which are the reference value ( a ) and control limit ( h )—for designing a CUSUM chart with a minimum out-of-control ARL is presented. In addition, the explicit formulas for the CUSUM control chart were applied with the practical data of a stock price from the stock exchange of Thailand, and the resulting performance efficiency is compared with an exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) control chart. This comparison showed that the CUSUM control chart efficiently detected a small shift size in the process, whereas the EWMA control chart was more efficient for moderate to large shift sizes.

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.
