As a common approach in the development of control charts Statistical Process Control (SPC), an industrial process is monitored with one or more quality characteristics using their corresponding distributions. Note though, modelling through relation between some independent and dependent variables alternative which designated as profiles monitoring. This study proposes integration adaptive to c...

In many processes in real practice at the start-up stages the process parameters are not known a priori and there are no initial samples or data for executing Phase I monitoring and estimating the process parameters. In addition, the practitioners are interested in using one control chart instead of two or more for monitoring location and variability of processes. In this paper, we consider a s...

In...

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...

Several characteristics, say d of them, are measured on the output of a process. Such characteristics may or may not be correlated. A case has been made that one should not monitor such processes by keeping separate control charts on each of the d characteristics. What is often suggested is a single control chart based on Hotelling’s T . See Alt (1985) and Murphy (1987) on this point and for fu...

Control charts are extensively used in manufacturing contexts to monitor production processes. This article illustrates economical design of a variable sample size and control limit Hotelling’s T2 control chart based on a novel cost model when occurrence times of the assignable causes are exponentially distributed. The proposed nonlinear cost model is an extension of Duncan’s (J Am Stat ...
