A Strategy to Optimize the SPC Scheme for Mass Production of HDD Arm with ClusteringTechnique and Three-Way Control Chart
نویسنده
چکیده
Consider a mass production of HDD arms where hundreds of CNC machines are used to manufacturer the HDD arms. According to an overwhelming number of machines and models of arm, construction of separate control chart for monitoring each HDD arm model by each machine is not feasible. This research proposed a strategy to optimize the SPC management on shop floor. The procedure started from identifying the clusters of the machine with similar manufacturing performance using clustering technique. The three way control chart ( I MR R ) is then applied to each clustered group of machine. This proposed research has advantageous to the manufacturer in terms of not only better performance of the SPC but also the quality management paradigm. Keywords—Three way control chart. I MR R , between/within variation, HDD arm.

Economic Statistical Design of a Three-Level Control Chart with VSI Scheme
Traditionally, the statistical quality control techniques utilize either an attributes or variables product quality measure. Recently, some methods such as three-level control chart have been developed for monitoring multi attribute processes. Control chart usually has three design parameters: the sample size (n), the sampling interval (h) and the control limit coefficient (k).The design parame...

T2 control charts are used to monitor a process when more than one quality variable associated with process is being observed. Recent studies have shown that using variable sample size (VSS) schemes result in charts with more statistical power when detecting small to moderate shifts in the process mean vector. This paper presents an economic- statistical design of T2 control charts with variabl...

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...
متن کاملApproximating the step change point of the process fraction non conforming using genetic algorithm to optimize the likelihood function
Control charts are standard statistical process control (SPC) tools for detecting assignable causes. These charts trigger a signal when a process gets out of control but they do not indicate when the process change has begun. Identifying the real time of the change in the process, called the change point, is very important for eliminating the source(s) of the change. Knowing when a process has ...
