Exponentially Weighted Moving Average Control Charts for Monitoring Increases in Poisson Rate
نویسندگان
چکیده
The exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) control chart has been widely studied as a tool for monitoring normal processes due to its simplicity and efficiency. However, relatively little attention has been paid to EWMA charts for monitoring Poisson processes. This paper extends EWMA charts to Poisson processes with emphasis on quick detection of increases in Poisson rate. Both cases with and without normalzing transformation for Poisson data are considered. A Markov chain model is established to analyze and design the proposed chart. The comparison results indicate that the EWMA chart based on normalized data is nearly optimal.

Robust economic-statistical design of the EWMA-R control charts for phase II linear profile monitoring
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 کاملBayesian change point estimation in Poisson-based control charts
Precise identification of the time when a process has changed enables process engineers to search for a potential special cause more effectively. In this paper, we develop change point estimation methods for a Poisson process in a Bayesian framework. We apply Bayesian hierarchical models to formulate the change point where there exists a step < /div> change, a linear trend and a known multip...
متن کاملDesign of Exponentially Weighted Moving Average Chart for Monitoring Standardized Process Variance
Control charts for monitoring of process variance are developed based on Shewhart, exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) and cumulative sum (CUSUM) control charts for mean. In all these variance control charts, log transformation of the sample variance is used. The design procedure of this chart is complex and it is poorly understood by the industry. In this paper a EWMA chart for monito...

The reliability data is getting used to monitor and improve the quality of products or services. Nowadays, most of products or services are the results of processes with dependent stages referred to as multi-stage process. In these processes, the quality characteristics are affected by the quality characteristics in the previous stages, called as cascade property. In some cases, it is not possi...

OBJECTIVE This study aims to compare different control charts to monitor the nosocomial infection rate per 1,000 patient-days. METHODS The control charts considered in this study were the traditional Shewhart chart and a variation of this, the Cumulative Sum and Exponentially Weighted Moving Average charts. RESULTS We evaluated 238 nosocomial infections that were registered in the intensive...
