Fault diagnosis methods based on process history data have been studied widely in recent years, and several successful industrial applications have been reported. In this paper a comparison of four monitoring methods, PCA, PLS, subspace identification and self-organising maps, for fault detection of the online analysers in a dearomatisation process is presented. The effectiveness of different s...

In certain statistical process control applications, quality of a process or product can be characterized by a function commonly referred to as profile. Some of the potential applications of profile monitoring are cases where quality characteristic of interest is modelled using binary,multinomial or ordinal variables. In this paper, profiles with multinomial response are studied. For this purpo...

Nonparametric statistical process monitoring procedures demonstrate greater efficiency than parametric methods when data significantly depart from normality. A comparison between some nonparametric procedures is conducted and the results are presented.

in statistical quality control a very widely used measure is average run length (arl) which may be worked out by different methods like integral equation, approximations, and monte carlo simulations. the arl measure and the other related measures are of major significance in every type of production process. an omission in its computation (and hence its related measures such as extra quadratic ...

Execution paths expose non-functional information such as system reliability and performance, which can be collected using runtime verification techniques. Statistics gathering and evaluation can be very useful for processing such information for areas ranging from performance profiling to user modelling and intrusion detection. In this paper, we give an overview of LarvaStat — a runtime verifi...

Most of the inventory control models assume that quality defect never happens, which means production process is perfect. However, in real manufacturing processes, the production process starts its operation in the in-control state; but after a period of time, shifts to the out-of-control state because of occurrence of some disturbances. In this paper, in order to approach the model to real man...

The Central Statistics Agency (BPS) is a government institution that has the authority to carry out statistical activities in the form of censuses and surveys, to produce statistical data needed by the government, the private sector and the general public, as a reference in planning, monitoring, and evaluation of development results. Therefore, providing quality statistical data is very decisiv...
