This article discusses robustness to non-normality of EWMA charts for dispersion. Comparison analysis of run length of four kinds of EWMA charts to monitoring process dispersion is provided to evaluate control charts performance and robustness. At last robust EWMA dispersion charts for non-normal processes are proposed by this way.

Most robust control charts in the literature are for monitoring process location parameters, such as mean or median, rather than process dispersion parameters. This paper develops a new robust control chart by integrating a two-sample nonparametric test into the effective change-point model. Our proposed chart is easy in computation, convenient to use, and very powerful in detecting process dispersion shifts.

Control chart is a tool for detecting an out-of-control signal in statistical process control (SPC). It is widely used in process monitoring in order to detect changes in process mean or process dispersion. This study aims to illustrate the application of multivariate control charts in monitoring water quality at one of the water treatments plants in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. The tested water quality variables in this study are turbidity, pH value, dissolved oxygen (DO) and concentration of ferum. Two multivariate control charts, Hotelling’sT2 and MCUSUM control charts are constructed under the violation of the multivariate normality assumption. The purpose is to study the effect of non-normal data upon the monitoring process using the selected multivariate control charts. By comparing the monitoring process between the two types of control charts, the consistency of the results is studied. All the univariate and multivariate control charts produced out-of-control signals from different points, hence inconclusive results obtained.

<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>

Control chart can be designed to quickly detect small shifts in the mean of a sequence of independent normal observations. But this chart cannot perform well for autocorrelated process. The main goal of this article is to suggest a control chart method using to monitoring process with different time delay feedback controlled processes. A quality control model based on delay feedback controlled processes is set up. And the calculating method of average run length of control charts based on process output and control action of multiple steps delay MMSE feedback controlled processes is provided to evaluate control charts performance. A simple example is used to illustrate the procedure of this approach.

The multivariate Hotelling's T2 control chart is designed to be used in a mass production for processes where data to estimate the mean vector and covariance matrix as well as the computation of control limits are available before a production run. Recent years have seen a trend in manufacturing industries to produce smaller lot sizes, a.k.a., low volume production which is a result of increased importance given to just-in-time (JIT) manufacturing techniques, synchronous manufacturing and the reduction of in-process inventory and costs. This new manufacturing environment is also referred to as short runs production or short runs. In a short runs environment, it is difficult or perhaps impossible to establish a reliable historical data set in setting valid control limits and in estimating process parameters due to the availability of insufficient data for a particular process because production runs are usually short and change frequently from one process to another. There is also a need to start charting at or very near the beginning of the run in such a case. Another problem encountered in a short runs production such as in job shops is that there are many different types of measurements so that many different control charts are needed. Standardized control charts that allow different statistics to be plotted on the same chart are extremely useful in short runs. Control charts with standard scale simplify the control charting process in a short runs environment. In this paper, we address the multivariate short runs problems for process dispersion based on individual measurements by presenting the required formulas so that the chart can be used from the start of production, whether or not prior information for estimating the chart's limit and its parameter is available. The proposed chart plots standardized statistics for multiple parts on the same chart. This paper extends the work of the authors in Ref. 13.

While researchers and practitioners may seamlessly develop methods of detecting outliers in control charts under a univariate setup, detecting and screening outliers in multivariate control charts pose serious challenges. In this study, we propose a robust multivariate control chart based on the Stahel-Donoho robust estimator (SDRE), whilst the process parameters are estimated from phase-I. Through intensive Monte-Carlo simulation, the study presents how the estimation of parameters and presence of outliers affect the efficacy of the Hotelling T2 chart, and then how the proposed outlier detector brings the chart back to normalcy by restoring its efficacy and sensitivity. Run-length properties are used as the performance measures. The run length properties establish the superiority of the proposed scheme over the default multivariate Shewhart control charting scheme. The applicability of the study includes but is not limited to manufacturing and health industries. The study concludes with a real-life application of the proposed chart on a dataset extracted from the manufacturing process of carbon fiber tubes.
