Demands of automatic recognition of abnormal patterns in control charts have been increasing nowadays in manufacturing process. Control chart pattern recognition is an important statistical process control tool used to determine whether a process is run in its intended range or not and eliminate the potential attribution factors as far as possible according to the abnormal condition shown in the control chart. This paper uses the time domain features as input vector and genetic algorithm to obtain the optimal parameters of SVM in a self-adapted manner. Design anomaly detection model for dynamic process is made to realize control chart pattern recognition under the complex condition. The experimental results show that the proposed approach method has higher detection accuracy and stronger generalization ability than other methods, so it is more suitable for quality control in production field.

Traditional statistical process control (SPC) charting techniques were developed to monitor process status and helping identify assignable causes. Unnatural patterns in the process are recognized by means of control chart pattern recognition (CCPR) techniques. There are a broad set of studies in CCPR domain, however, given the growing doubts concerning the performance of control charts in presence of constrained data, this area has been overlooked in the literature. This paper, reports a preliminary work to develop a scheme for fault tolerant CCPR that is capable of (i) detecting of constrained data that is sampled in a misaligned uneven fashion and/or be partly lost or unavailable and (ii) accommodating the system in order to improve the reliability of recognition.

Control charts are an important tool in statistical process control (SPC). They have been commonly used for monitoring process variation in many industries. Recognition of non-random patterns is an important task in SPC. The presence of non-random patterns implies that a process is affected by certain assignable causes, and some corrective actions should be taken. In recent years, a great deal of research has been devoted to the application of machine learning (ML) based approaches to control chart pattern recognition (CCPR). However, there are some gaps that hinder the application of the CCPR methods in practice. In this study, we applied a control chart pattern recognition method based on an end-to-end one-dimensional convolutional neural network (1D CNN) model. We proposed some methods to generate datasets with high intra-class diversity aiming to create a robust classification model. To address the data scarcity issue, some data augmentation operations suitable for CCPR were proposed. This study also investigated the usefulness of transfer learning techniques for the CCPR task. The pre-trained model using normally distributed data was used as a starting point and fine-tuned on the unknown non-normal data. The performance of the proposed approach was evaluated by real-world data and simulation experiments. Experimental results indicate that our proposed method outperforms the traditional machine learning methods and could be a promising tool to effectively classify control chart patterns. The results and findings of this study are crucial for the further realization of smart statistical process control.

Statistical process control (SPC) is an important tool of enterprise quality management. It can scientifically distinguish the abnormal fluctuations of product quality. Therefore, intelligent and efficient SPC is of great significance to the manufacturing industry, especially in the context of industry 4.0. The intelligence of SPC is embodied in the realization of histogram pattern recognition (HPR) and control chart pattern recognition (CCPR). In view of the lack of HPR research and the complexity and low efficiency of the manual feature of control chart pattern, an intelligent SPC method based on feature learning is proposed. This method uses multilayer bidirectional long short-term memory network (Bi-LSTM) to learn the best features from the raw data, and it is universal to HPR and CCPR. Firstly, the training and test data sets are generated by Monte Carlo simulation algorithm. There are seven histogram patterns (HPs) and nine control chart patterns (CCPs). Then, the network structure parameters and training parameters are optimized to obtain the best training effect. Finally, the proposed method is compared with traditional methods and other deep learning methods. The results show that the quality of extracted features by multilayer Bi-LSTM is the highest. It has obvious advantages over other methods in recognition accuracy, despite the HPR or CCPR. In addition, the abnormal patterns of data in actual production can be effectively identified.

Pattern recognition is an important issue in statistical process control (SPC) because unnatural patterns exhibited by control charts can be associated with specific assignable causes adversely affecting the process. Artificial neural networks have been widely investigated as an effective approach to control chart pattern (CCP) recognition in recent years. However, an overwhelming majority of these applications has used trial-and-error experiments to determine the network architecture and training parameters, which are crucial to the performance of the network. In this paper, the genetic algorithm (GA) is used to evolve the configuration and the training parameter set of the neural network to solve the online CCP recognition problem. Numerical results are provided that indicate that the proposed GA can evolve neural network architecture while simultaneously determining training parameters to maximize efficiently the performance of the online CCP recognizers. Because the population size is a major parameter of GA processing speed, an investigation was also conducted to identify the effects of the population size on the performance of the proposed GA. This research further confirms the feasibility of using GA to evolve neural networks. Although a back-propagation-based CCP recognizer is the particular application presented here, the proposed GA methodology can be applied to neural networks in general.

Control charts as used in statistical process control can exhibit six principal types of patterns: normal, cyclic, increasing trend, decreasing trend, upward shift and downward shift. Apart from normal patterns, all the other patterns indicate abnormalities in the process that must be corrected. Accurate and speedy detection of such patterns is important to achieving tight control of the process and ensuring good product quality. This paper describes a new type of neural network for control chart pattern recognition. The neural network is self-organizing and can learn to recognize new patterns in an on-line incremental manner. The key feature of the proposed neural network is the criterion employed to select the firing neuron, i.e. the neuron indicating the pattern class. The paper gives a comparison of the results obtained using the proposed network and those for other self-organizing networks employing a different firing criterion.

ABSTRACT Statistical process control in mechanized farming is a new way to assess operation quality. In this sense, we aimed to compare three statistical process control tools applied to losses in sugarcane mechanical harvesting to determine the best control chart template for this quality indicator. Losses were daily monitored in farms located within Triângulo Mineiro region, in Minas Gerais state, Brazil. They were carried over a period of 70 days in the 2014 harvest. At the end of the evaluation period, 194 samples were collected in total for each type of loss. The control charts used were individual values chart, moving average and exponentially weighted moving average. The quality indicators assessed during sugarcane harvest were the following loss types: full grinding wheel, stumps, fixed piece, whole cane, chips, loose piece and total losses. The control chart of individual values is the best option for monitoring losses in sugarcane mechanical harvesting, as it is of easier result interpretation, in comparison to the others.

Consistent with the precepts of total quality control and total quality management, there has been a resource shift from incoming and outgoing inspection processes to statistical quality control of processes. Furthermore, process control operators are responsible for their own quality, necessitating the in-process inspection of components. This study treated the statistical process control task of “searching” control charts for out-of-control conditions as an inspection task and applied the Theory of Signal Detection to better understand this behavior and improve performance. Twelve subjects participated in a research study to examine how the portrayal of control chart information affected signal detection theory measures. The type of display did not have a significant effect on the sensitivity and response criterion of subjects. These results are discussed in terms of the applicability of Signal Detection Theory in control chart decision making as well as implications on display design.

The T2statistic is one important indicator of statistical process control theory to identify anomalies of the multivariate industrial process. In the research field of the coal gas pre-drainage process control, previous achievements mainly based on the univariate control chart, which leaded to huge workload and facilitated some human errors. Against these problems, a more comprehensive and easy-to-use method based on the T2statistic was proposed. First at all, the basic thought and the principle of T2control chart was elaborated. Secondly, the data structure and data samples were provided after their principle component analysis. Finally, the multivariate control chart of coal gas pre-drainage process was established. Results show that the proposed anomaly identification method can integrate dozen of univariate control charts into one. Then technicians needn’t deal with many control charts in the same time and many human errors can be avoided.

The management of body condition score (BCS) during the dry period is associated with the postpartum health outcomes of dairy cows. However, the difference between the actual BCS and the fixed ideal value is not able to accurately predict the occurrence of postpartum diseases. This study aimed to use statistical process control (SPC) technology to monitor the BCS of dry cows, to evaluate the effect of control charts on nutritional strategies, and to explore the utility of SPC in predicting the incidence of postpartum subclinical ketosis (SCK). The BCS and SCK data of 286 cows from the dry off period to 60 days postpartum were collected to set up the early warning function. Three control charts, including a control chart for the average BCS of the herds, for the BCS of each dry cow, and for individual BCS, were established. The early warning signs for postpartum SCK development were: (1) an individual BCS more than 3.5 that remained unchanged for six weeks; (2) a capability index (CPK), an SPC tool, greater than −0.52. Using these parameters, the early warning signs of SCK development were verified in 429 dry cows. The results showed that the accuracy of early warning signal was 0.64 and the precision was 0.26. The control chart showed that the average BCS of dry cows was consistently higher than the expected upper limit of BCS during the experimental period, and that the addition of new cows to the herds increased the average BCS. In summary, the application of SPC technology to monitor the BCS of dry cows was not a good tool for the prediction of postpartum SCK occurrence but was an appropriate tool for guiding positive nutrition strategies.
