Controversies and Contradictions in Statistical Process Control
نویسنده
چکیده
As pointed out by Woodall and Montgomery (1999), there are a number of disputes in the area of statistical quality control (SQC). There are differences of opinion in all areas of statistical science, but disagreements tend to be more common and more intense in the quality area. This could be due in part to the diversity of those working in the quality field, including quality gurus and their followers, consultants, quality engineers, industrial engineers, professional practitioners, statisticians, managers, and others. Another contributing factor to disagreements is competition for the large investments companies make in quality improvement and quality certification programs.

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 کاملManaged Pressure Drilling Using Integrated Process Control
Control of wellbore pressure during drilling operations has always been important in the oil industry as this can prevent the possibility of well blowout. The present research employs a combination of automatic process control and statistical process control for the first time for the identification, monitoring, and control of both random and special causes in drilling operations. To this end, ...
