Minimum control charts
نویسندگان
چکیده
Standard control charts are very sensitive to estimation effects and/or deviations from normality. Hence a program has been carried out to remedy these problems. This is quite adequate in most circumstances, but not in all. In the present paper, the remaining complication is attacked: what to do if a nonparametric approach is indicated, but too few Phase I observations are available? It is shown that grouping the observations during Phase II works well. Surprisingly, rather than using the group averages, it is definitely preferable to compare the minimum for each group to a suitably chosen upper control limit. (And in the two-sided case, also the maximum to an analogous lower control limit.) This ’minimum control chart’ is demonstrated to be quite attractive: it is easy to explain and to implement. Moreover, while it is truly nonparametric, its power of detection is comparable to that of the customary, normality assuming, charts based on averages.

Using Shewhart p control charts of external quality-assurance program data to monitor analytical performance of a clinical chemistry laboratory.
We have investigated the application of Shewhart's p control charts in our external quality-assurance program to monitor the long-term performance of our laboratory's analytical quality. The p control charts have been able to detect long-term changes in our laboratory's analytical performance that would have been difficult to detect by more-conventional techniques. We have explored methods for ...
متن کاملControl charts using minima instead of averages
Traditional control charts are commonly based on the averages of the inspected groups of observations. It turns out to be quite worthwhile to consider alternative approaches. In particular, a very good proposal is to use instead the group minimum for comparison to some suitable upper limit (and likewise the group maximum for comparison to a lower limit). The power of detection during Out-of-Con...
متن کاملA Literature Review on the Fuzzy Control Chart; Classifications & Analysis
Quality control plays an important role in increasing the product quality. Fuzzy control charts are more sensitive than Shewhart control chart. Hence, the correct use of fuzzy control chart leads to producing better-quality products. This area is complex because it involves a large scope of industries, and information is not well organized. In this research, we provide a literature review of th...
متن کاملEstimation of Process Variance in Using Spc Charts for a Stationary Process
Recently, statistical process control (SPC) methodologies have been developed to accommodate autocorrelated data. To construct control charts for stationary process data, the process variance needs to be estimated. For an independently identically distributed sequence of a random variable, the variance is usually estimated by the sample variance. For a weakly stationary process, different estim...
متن کاملOn the non-parametric multivariate control charts in fuzzy environment
Multivariate control chats are generally used in situations where the simultaneous monitoring or control of two or more related quality characteristics is necessary. In most processes in the real world, distribution of the process characteristics are unknown or at least non-normal, so the non-parametric or distribution-free charts are desirable. Most non-parametric statistical process-control t...
