A single chart, instead of and R charts or and S charts, to simultaneously monitor the process mean and variability would reduce the required time and effort. A number of studies have attempted to find such charts. Moreover, a number of studies demonstrated that the adaptive control charts may detect process shifts faster than the fixed control charts. This paper proposes the EWMA loss chart with variable sample sizes and sampling intervals (VSSI) to effectively monitor the difference of process measurements and target. An example is used to illustrate the application and performance of the proposed control chart in detecting the changes in the difference of the process measurements and target. Numerical analyses demonstrated that the VSSI EWMA loss chart outperforms the fixed sampling interval EWMA average loss chart and the Shewhart joint and S charts. Therefore, the VSSI EWMA loss chart is recommended.

The fundamental assumption of variable control charts is that the data are normally distributed and spread randomly about the mean. Process data are not always normally distributed, hence there is need to set up appropriate control charts that gives accurate control limits to monitor processes that are skewed. In this study Shewhart-type control charts for monitoring positively skewed data that are assumed to be from Marshall-Olkin Inverse Loglogistic Distribution (MOILLD) was developed. Average Run Length (ARL) and Control Limits Interval (CLI) were adopted to assess the stability and performance of the MOILLD control chart. The results obtained were compared with Classical Shewhart (CS) and Skewness Correction (SC) control charts using the ARL and CLI. It was discovered that the control charts based on MOILLD performed better and are more stable compare to CS and SC control charts. It is therefore recommended that for positively skewed data, a Marshall-Olkin Inverse Loglogistic Distribution based control chart will be more appropriate.

In recent years, adaptive control charts in which the design parameters depend on the observed samples have been successfully used as efficient alternatives for traditional control charts with constant parameters. In crisp run control rules, the process state may change very sharply from in-control to out-of-control conditions which increase the rate of false alarms. To overcome this drawback, this paper presents an adaptive Shewhart-type control chart, where the design parameters (sample size ([Formula: see text]), sampling interval ([Formula: see text]), and control limit coefficients ([Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text])) are defined with linguistic variables. To accomplish that, the chart parameters are determined based on the location of eight previous chart statistics using a set of fuzzy rules in a continuous environment. In order to improve the sensitivity of the proposed control chart in detecting small shifts in both location and scale parameters, the adaptive procedure is designed by integration of fuzzy Western Electric rules and fuzzy adaptive sampling rules. After designing the control charts using a fuzzy inference system (FIS), in order to provide an economic design of the proposed control chart, a tuned Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm is employed to determine the optimal values corresponding to membership functions of the control chart parameters. Finally, using simulation studies, the capability of the proposed control chart is analyzed and compared with common charts in the literature. The results confirm that under different shifts in location and scale parameters, the proposed control chart outperforms other charts in terms of both economic and statistical criteria.

In the literature, median type control charts have been widely investigated as easy and efficient means to monitor the process mean when observations are from a normal distribution. In this work, a Variable Sampling Interval (VSI) Exponentially Weighted Moving Average (EWMA) median control chart is proposed and studied. The Markov chains are used to calculate the average run length to signal (ARL). A performance comparison with the original EWMA median control chart is made. The numerical results show that the proposed chart is considerably more effective as it is faster in detecting process shifts. Finally, the implementation of the proposed chart is illustrated with an example in food production process.

AbstractControl charts have been established as major tools for quality control and improvement in industry. Therefore, it is always required to consider an appropriate design of a control chart from an economical point of view before using the chart. The economic design of a control chart refers to the determination of three optimal control chart parameters: sample size, the sampling interval, and the control limits coefficient. In this article, the double sampling (DS)
