A New Control Chart to Monitor Mean Shifts of Bi-Variate Quality Control Processes
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose a new approach to monitor an overall mean shift of a bi-variate quality control system. To do this, we first define beliefs on deciding whether the quality characteristics are in out-of-control state. Then, by taking new observations, in an iterative approach we update the belief of each quality characteristics being out-of-control. This task is performed using a recursive method and prior beliefs. Finally, we introduce a statistics in combination with Bivariate Exponentially Weighted Moving Average (BEWMA) statistics to improve the performance of the proposed method. In order to understand the proposed methodology and to evaluate its performance, we perform a simulation study. Moreover, we compare inand out-of-control average run lengths of the proposed method with the ones from the well-known MCUSUM and MEWMA procedures in different scenarios of mean shifts. The results of the simulation study show that the proposed methodology performs better than the other methods for small shifts of the process mean.

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...

The most well-known uni-arribute control chart used to monitor the number of nonconformities per unit is the Shewhart type C-chart. In this paper, a new method is proposed in an attempt to reduce the false alarm rate in the C-chart. To do this, the decision on beliefs (DOB) concept is first uti [1] Corresponding author e-mail: [email protected] lized to design an iterative method, where...

Water pH and active ingredient concentration are two of the most important variables to consider in the manufacturing process of fungicides. If these variables do not meet the required standards, the quality of the product may be compromised and lead to poor fungicide performance when water is used as the application carrier, which is in most cases. Given the correlation between the variable...
