متن کاملA Review and Evaluation of Statistical Process Control Methods in Monitoring Process Mean and Variance Simultaneously
In this paper, first the available single charting methods, which have been proposed to detect simultaneous shifts in a single process mean and variance, are reviewed. Then, by designing proper simulation studies these methods are evaluated in terms of in-control and out-ofcontrol average run length criteria (ARL). The results of these simulation experiments show that the EWMA and EWMS methods ...
متن کاملQUALITY IMPROVEMENT RESEARCH Statistical process control as a tool for research and healthcare improvement
Improvement of health care requires making changes in processes of care and service delivery. Although process performance is measured to determine if these changes are having the desired beneficial effects, this analysis is complicated by the existence of natural variation—that is, repeated measurements naturally yield different values and, even if nothing was done, a subsequent measurement mi...
متن کاملSystematic Review of Statistical Process Control: An Experience Report
Background: A systematic review is a rigorous method for assessing and aggregating research results. Unlike an ordinary literature review consisting of an annotated bibliography, a systematic review analyzes existing literature with reference to specific research questions on a topic of interest. Objective: Statistical Process Control (SPC) is a well established technique in manufacturing conte...
