Context-Based Statistical Process Control - A Monitoring Procedure for State-Dependent Processes
نویسندگان
چکیده
Most statistical process control (SPC) methods are not suitable for monitoring nonlinear and statedependent processes. This article introduces the context-based SPC (CSPC) methodology for statedependent data generated by a finite-memory source. The key idea of the CSPC is to monitor the statistical attributes of a process by comparing two context trees at any monitoring period of time. The first is a reference tree that represents the “in control” reference behavior of the process; the second is a monitored tree, generated periodically from a sample of sequenced observations, that represents the behavior of the process at that period. The Kullback–Leibler (KL) statistic is used to measure the relative “distance” between these two trees, and an analytic distribution of this statistic is derived. Monitoring the KL statistic indicates whether there has been any significant change in the process that requires intervention. An example of buffer-level monitoring in a production system demonstrates the viability of the new method with respect to conventional methods.

New phase II control chart for monitoring ordinal contingency table based processes
In some statistical process monitoring applications, quality of a process or product is described by more than one ordinal factors called ordinal multivariate process. To show the relationship between these factors, an ordinal contingency table is used and modeled with ordinal log-linear model. In this paper, a new control charts based on ordinal-normal statistic is developed to monitor the ord...
متن کاملFault-Tolerant Control of a Nonlinear Process with Input Constraints
A Fault-Tolerant Control (FTC) methodology has been presented for nonlinear processes being imposed by control input constraints. The proposed methodology uses a combination of Feedback Linearization and Model Predictive Control (FLMPC) schemes. The resulting constraints in the transformed process will be dependent on the actual evolving states, making their incorporation in the de...
متن کاملMonitoring and Diagnosing Multistage Processes: A Review of Cause Selecting Control Charts
A review of the literature on cause selecting charts (CSCs) in multistage processes is given, with a concentration on developments which have occurred since 1993. Model based control charts and multiple cause selecting charts (MCSCs) are reviewed. Several articles based on normally and non-normally distributed outgoing quality characteristics are analyzed and important issues such as economic d...
متن کاملRobust Economic-Statistical Design of Acceptance Control Chart
Acceptance control charts (ACC), as an effective tool for monitoring highly capable processes, establish control limits based on specification limits when the fluctuation of the process mean is permitted or inevitable. For designing these charts by minimizing economic costs subject to statistical constraints, an economic-statistical model is developed in this paper. However, the parameters of s...
متن کاملA Statistical Method for Sequential Images – Based Process Monitoring
Today, with the growth of technology, monitoring processes by the use of video and satellite sensors have been more expanded, due to their rich and valuable information. Recently, some researchers have used sequential images for image defect detection because a single image is not sufficient for process monitoring. In this paper, by adding the time dimension to the image-based process monitorin...
