Fast initial response features for EWMA Control Charts
نویسنده
چکیده
The exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) control chart became very popular during the last decade. It is characterized by simple handling and good performance. It turns out, however, that the most popular EWMA scheme with fixed-width control limits – the asymptotic control limits are taken and do not change over time – detects early changes rather slowly. For the competing CUSUM chart the so-called fast initial response (head-start) feature is developed which permits rapid response to an initial out-of-control situation. Meanwhile, in some papers similar modifications for EWMA schemes are described. We compare these approaches by using precise computation techniques, which are based on numeric quadrature rules and allow higher accuracy than earlier studies. Moreover, previous comparisons are restricted to the evaluation of the detection speed by comparing the average run lengths (ARLs), that is, the

Exponentially Weighted Moving Average Control Charts with Time-Varying Control Limits and Fast Initial Response
The control limits of an exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) control chart should vary with time, approaching asymptotic limits as time increases. However, previous analytic analyses of EWMA charts consider only asymptotic control limits. In this article, the run length properties of EWMAs with time-varying control limits are approximated using nonhomogeneous Markov chains. Comparing t...
متن کاملMixed Exponentially Weighted Moving Average-Cumulative Sum Charts for Process Monitoring
The control chart is a very popular tool of statistical process control. It is used to determine the existence of special cause variation to remove it so that the process may be brought in statistical control. Shewhart-type control charts are sensitive for large disturbances in the process, whereas cumulative sum (CUSUM)–type and exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA)–type control charts ...
متن کاملOn Sensitivity of EWMA Control Chart for Monitoring Process Dispersion
Control chart is the most important Statistical Process Control (SPC) tool used to monitor reliability and performance of manufacturing processes. Variability EWMA charts are widely used for the detection of small shifts in process dispersion. For ease in computation all the variability EWMA charts proposed so far are based on asymptotic nature of control limits. It has been shown in this study...
متن کاملEnhancing the performance of EWMA charts
Control charts are extensively used in processes and are very helpful in determining the special cause variations so that a timely action may be taken to eliminate them. One of the charting procedures is the Shewhart-type control charts, which are used mainly to detect large shifts. Two alternatives to the Shewhart-type control charts are the cumulative (CUSUM) control charts and the exponentia...
متن کاملImproving the performance of CUSUM charts
The control chart is an important statistical technique that is used to monitor the quality of a process. Shewhart control charts are used to detect larger disturbances in the process parameters, whereas CUSUM and EWMA charts are meant for smaller and moderate changes. Runs rules schemes are generally used to enhance the performance of Shewhart control charts. In this study, we propose two runs...
