1. Abstract The article considers the variable process control scheme for two dependent process steps with incorrect adjustment. Incorrect adjustment of a process may result in shifts in process mean, ultimately affecting the quality of products. We construct variable sample size and variable sampling interval (VSSI) control charts to effectively monitor the quality variable produced by the fir...

Control charts are themost extensively used technique to detect the presence of special cause variations in processes. They can be classified intomemory andmemoryless control charts. Cumulative sum and exponentially weightedmoving average control charts are memory-type control charts as their control structures are developed in such a way that the past information is not ignored as it is done i...

The influence of the estimation of parameters in Shewhart control charts is investigated. It is shown by simulation and asymptotics that (very) large sample sizes are needed to accurately determine control charts if estimators are plugged in. Correction terms are developed to get accurate control limits for common sample sizes in the in-control situation. Simulation and theory show that the new...

Control charts are widely used in industrial processes as well as in health sciences and particularly for monitoring the performance of cardiac surgeon or a group of surgeons based on the preoperative risk of patients. Since the preoperative risk is a vague and nonprecise variable and the anesthesiologists after checking how many risk factors a patient has, determine the risk of mortality befor...

In this paper we discuss the basic procedures for the implementation of multivariate statistical process control via control charting. Furthermore, we review multivariate extensions for all kinds of univariate control charts, such as multivariate Shewhart-type control charts, multivariate CUSUM control charts and multivariate EWMA control charts. In addition, we review unique procedures for the...

Process shift is an important input parameter in the economic design of control charts. Earlier x control chart designs considered constant shifts to occur in the mean of the process for a given assignable cause. This assumption has been criticized by many researchers since it may not be realistic to produce a constant shift whenever an assignable cause occurs. To overcome this difficulty...

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...

The setting of the control limits to utilize on a control chart supposes the assumption of the normality. However, in many situations, this condition does not hold. There are numerous studies on the control charts when the underlying distribution is non-normal. This paper examines the effects of non-normality as measured by skewness and provides an alternative method of designing individuals co...
