Design of a Robust EWMA t Chart with Variable Sampling Intervals for Monitoring Changes in the Process Mean
نویسندگان
چکیده
The performance of an X-bar chart is usually studied under the assumption that the process standard deviation is well estimated and does not change. This is, of course, not always the case in practice and X-bar charts are not robust against errors in estimating the process standard deviation or changing standard deviation. In this paper, the use of an exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) t chart with variable sampling intervals to monitor the process mean is discussed. We have determined the optimal control limits for the VSI EWMA t chart so that the chart has the desired robustness property against errors in estimating the process standard deviation or changing standard deviation. Performance of the proposed chart is compared with similar charts using the Markov chain approach and simulation studies..

Control charts are powerful tools to monitor quality characteristics of services or production processes. However, in some processes, the performance of process or product cannot be controlled by monitoring a characteristic; instead, they require to be controlled by a function that usually refers as a profile. This study suggests employing exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) and range ...

متن کاملEconomic-statistical Design of NP Control Chart with Variable Sample Size and Sampling Interval
The control charts are graphical tools and proven techniques to improve the performance of a process. Usually, the processes are not naturally controlled, so the use of control charts will help to reduce the variability and increase the stability of the process. In the traditional approach, control charts with fix sample size and constant sampling intervals were used to identify the changes in ...

A manufacturing process cannot be released to production until it has been proven to be stable. Also, we cannot begin to talk about process capability until we have demonstrated stability in our process. This means that the process variation is the result of random causes only and all assignable or special causes have been removed. In complicated manufacturing processes, such as drilling proces...
