This paper presents the economic design of modified X chart for autocorrelated data and comparison with the economic design of Shewhart’s X chart. An attempt has been made to counter autocorrelation by designing the modified X chart; as the cost of operating a process control system is an important element in the economic design of control charts. The economic designs of both modified and Shewh...

In the past few years, there has been an increasing interest in developing project control systems. The primary purpose of such systems is to indicate whether the actual performance is consistent with the baseline and to produce a signal in the case of non-compliance. Recently, researchers have shown an increased interest in monitoring project’s performance indicators, by plotting them on the S...

In this paper, a remedial measure is first proposed to eliminate the effect of autocorrelation in phase-ІІ monitoring of autocorrelated polynomial profiles, where there is a first order autoregressive (AR(1)) relation between the error terms in each profile. Then, a control chart based on the generalized linear test (GLT) is proposed to monitor the coefficients of polynomial profiles and an R-c...

Count data appears widely in finance, biomedical science, psychology, actuarial insurance, road safety and many other areas of life, it is often multivariate. In this paper, we consider using the multivariate exponentially weighted moving average (MEWMA) control chart method to monitor count under assumption Poisson distribution, which derived by He [1] from another form gamma distribution. We ...

A robust multivariate quality control technique for individual observations is proposed, based on the reweighted shrinkage estimators. simulation study done to check performance and compare method with classical Hotelling approach, alternative minimum covariance determinant estimator. The results show appropriateness of even when dimension or Phase I contamination are high, both independent cor...

Because of the importance of damage detection in manufacturing systems and other areas, many fault detection methods have been developed that are based on a vibration signal. Little work, however, has been reported in the literature on using a recurrence plot method to analyze the vibration signal for damage detection. In this paper, we develop a recurrence plot based fault detection method by ...

This paper studies a series production system through the integration of the decisions associated with Maintenance Management (MM) and Statistical Process Control (SPC). Hence, the primary question of the paper can be stated as follows: In a series production system, how can the decisions of MM and SPC be coordinated? To this end, an integrated mathematical model of MM and SPC is developed. Usi...
