The need for a control chart that can visualize and recognize the symmetric or asymmetric pattern of the monitoring process with more than one type of quality characteristic is a necessity in the era of Industry 4.0. In the past, the control charts were only developed to monitor one kind of quality characteristic. Several control charts were created to deal with this problem. However, there are some problems and drawbacks to the conventional mixed charts. In this study, another approach is used to monitor mixed quality characteristics by applying the Kernel Principal Component Analyisis (KPCA) method. Using the Hotelling’s T2 statistic, the kernel PCA mix chart is proposed to simultaneously monitor the variable and attribute quality characteristics. Due to its ability to estimate the asymmetric pattern of the mixed process, the kernel density estimation (KDE) used in the proposed chart has successfully estimated the control limits that produce ARL0 at about 370 for α=0.00273. Through several experiments based on the proportion of the attribute characteristics and kernel functions, the proposed chart demonstrates better performance in detecting outlier and shift in the process. When it is applied to monitor the synthetic data, the proposed chart can detect the shift accurately. Additionally, the proposed chart outperforms the performance of the conventional mixed chart based on PCA mix by producing lower false alarm with more accurate detection of out of control processes.

In the field of statistical process control (SPC), usually two issues are addressed; the variables and the attribute quality characteristics control charting. Focusing on discrete data generated from a process to be monitored, attributes control charts would be useful. The discrete data could be classified into two categories; the independent and auto-correlated data. Regarding the independence in the sequence of discrete data, the typical Shewhart-based control charts, such as p-chart and np-chart would be effective enough to monitor the related process. But considering auto-correlation in the sequence of the data, such control charts would not workanymore. In this paper, considering the auto-correlated sequence of X1, X2,…, Xt,… as the sequence of zeros or ones, we have developed a control chart based on a two-state Markov model. This control chart is compared with the previously developed charts in terms of the average number of observations (ANOS) measure. In addition, a case study related to the diabetic people is investigated to demonstrate the applicability and high performance of the developed chart.

Many existing methods for video summarisation are not suitable for on-line applications, where computational and memory constraints mean that feature extraction and frame selection must be simple and efficient. Our proposed method uses RGB moments to represent frames, and a control-chart procedure to identify shots from which keyframes are then selected. The new method produces summaries of higher quality than two state-of-the-art on-line video summarisation methods identified as the best among nine such methods in our previous study. The summary quality is measured against an objective ideal for synthetic data sets, and compared to user-generated summaries of real videos.

Aiming at the problems of the lack of abnormal instances and the lag of quality anomaly discovery in quality database, this paper proposed the method of recognizing quality anomaly from the quality control chart data by probabilistic neural network (PNN) optimized by improved genetic algorithm, which made up deficiencies of SPC control charts in practical application. Principal component analysis (PCA) reduced the dimension and extracted the feature of the original data of a control chart, which reduced the training time of PNN. PNN recognized successfully both single pattern and mixed pattern of control charts because of its simple network structure and excellent recognition effect. In order to eliminate the defect of experience value, the key parameter of PNN was optimized by the improved (SGA) single-target optimization genetic algorithm, which made PNN achieve a higher rate of recognition accuracy than PNN optimized by standard genetic algorithm. Finally, the above method was validated by a simulation experiment and proved to be the most effective method compared with traditional BP neural network, single PNN, PCA-PNN without parameters optimized, and SVM optimized by particle swarm optimization algorithm.

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.

Kernel Principal Component Analysis (Kernel PCA) is a generalization of the ordinary PCA which allows mapping the original data into a high-dimensional feature space. The mapping is expected to address the issues of nonlinearity among variables and separation among classes in the original data space. The key problem in the use of kernel PCA is the parameter estimation used in kernel functions that so far has not had quite obvious guidance, where the parameter selection mainly depends on the objectivity of the research. This study exploited the use of Gaussian kernel function and focused on the ability of kernel PCA in visualizing the separation of the classified data. Assessments were undertaken based on misclassification obtained by Fisher Discriminant Linear Analysis of the first two principal components. This study results suggest for the visualization of kernel PCA by selecting the parameter in the interval between the closest and the furthest distances among the objects of original data is better than that of ordinary PCA.

In quality assurance of hexagonal paving block products, quality control is needed so the products that produced are in accordance with the specified standards. Quality control carried out involves two interconnected quality characteristics, that is thickness and weight of hexagonal paving blocks, so multivariate control chart is used. Improved Generalized Variance control chart is a tool used to control process variability in multivariate manner. Variability needs to be controlled because of in a production process, sometimes there are variabilities that caused by engine problems, operator errors, and deffect in raw materials that affect the process. The purpose of this study is to apply Improved Generalized Variance control chart in controlling the quality of hexagonal paving block products and calculating the capability of production process to meet the standards. Based on the assumption of multivariate normal distribution test, it can be seen that the data of quality characteristics of hexagonal paving blocks have multivariate distribution. While based on the correlation test between variables it can be concluded that the characteristics of the quality of thickness and weight correlate with each other. The result of the control using these control chart shows that the process is statistically in control. The results of process capability analysis show that the production process has been running according to the standard because the process capability index value is generated using a weighting of 0.5 for each quality characteristic that is 1.01517. Keywords: Paving Block, Quality Control, Variability, Improved Generalized Variance, Process Capability Analysis

Optical lenses are extensively used to enhance the performance of light-emitting diodes. Both uniformity and efficiency are important performance indicators in lens design; however, improving uniformity always lowers efficiency. In this study, the Taguchi method and principal component analysis (PCA) are integrated to optimise the lens shape for two quality objectives, namely, uniformity and efficiency. The Taguchi method was conducted twice to establish the signal/noise ratio of the two quality characteristics for calculating the principal components in PCA. Then, the optimum parameters obtained by the Taguchi method were processed by PCA. The correlated individual responses were converted to the principal components which explained most of the dataset and were considered as the single quality characteristic for the optimisation. The combined method resolved the difficulties of optimising multiple quality characteristics without sacrificing any particular quality characteristic while the traditional Taguchi method can only be applied to the single quality characteristic. A LED light source fitted with a secondary lens designed by the proposed method showed over 92% light efficiency and an improvement in uniformity.

Among the statistical process control (SPC) techniques, the control chart has been proven to be effective in process monitoring. The Shewhart chart is one of the most commonly used control charts for monitoring the process mean and variability based on the assumption that the distribution of the quality characteristic is normal. However, in practice, many quality characteristics are not normally distributed. Most of the existing nonparametric control charts are designed for Phase II monitoring. Little has been done in developing the nonparametric Phase I control charts especially for individual observations. In this work, we propose a new nonparametric Phase I control chart for monitoring the scale parameter based on the empirical likelihood ratio test. The simulation results show that the proposed chart is more effective than the existing charts in terms of signal probability. A real example is used to demonstrate how the proposed chart can be applied in practice.
