Cost comparisons of modified X chart for autocorrelated observations

چکیده
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 Shewhart X charts for autocorrelated observations are presented; using Lorenzen-Vance [1] cost model. The modified X chart is based upon sum of chi-squares and has simplicity like Shewhart X chart but more efficient than standard chart. Two sets of parameters suggested by Montgomery [2] are used to determine the optimal sampling intervals (h) and expected costs per hour. It shows that sampling interval (h) and expected cost/hour (C) depend upon various parameters of chart, used in this model. The expected costs/hour (C) for both the charts are computed for sample sizes of 2 and 4 at the various levels of correlation and process shifts in mean. It is concluded that at each level of correlation and shift in the process mean, the expected costs/hour of the modified X chart are lower than the Shewhart chart.

A two-sided Bernoulli-based CUSUM control chart with autocorrelated observations
Usually, in monitoring a proportion p < /em>, the binary observations are considered independent; however, in many real cases, there is a continuous stream of autocorrelated binary observations in which a two-state Markov chain model is applied with first-order dependence. On the other hand, the Bernoulli CUSUM control chart which is not robust to autocorrelation can be applied two-sided co...
متن کاملControl chart based on residues: Is a good methodology to detect outliers?
The purpose of this article is to evaluate the application of forecasting models along with the use of residual control charts to assess production processes whose samples have autocorrelation characteristics. The main objective is to determine the efficiency of control charts for individual observations (CCIO) and exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) charts when they are applied to res...
متن کاملMax-cusum Chart for Autocorrelated Processes
A Cumulative Sum (CUSUM) control chart capable of detecting changes in both the mean and the standard deviation for autocorrelated data, referred to as the Max-CUSUM chart for Autocorrelated Process chart (MCAP chart), is proposed. This chart is based on fitting a time series model to the data, and then calculating the residuals. The observations are represented as a first-order autoregressive ...

Change point estimation in the area of statistical process control has received considerable attentions in the recent decades because it helps process engineer to identify and remove assignable causes as quickly as possible. On the other hand, improving in measurement systems and data storage, lead to taking observations very close to each other in time and as a result increasing autocorrelatio...
متن کاملPerformance of Conventional X-bar Chart for Autocorrelated Data Using Smaller Sample Sizes
Control charts are used to determine whether or not a manufacturing or business process is in a state of statistical control. Various schemes of the standard (Shewhart) X chart for autocorrelated data at sample sizes of 2 and 3 are developed and compared with the schemes of the same chart for IID data at various process shifts in the process mean. It is clear from the comparison that the in-con...
