Abstract:

Control charts are used to identify the presence of assignable cause of variation in the process. Non-parametric control chart is an emerging area of recent development in the theory of SPC. Its main advantage is that it does not require any knowledge about the underlying distribution of the variable. In this paper a non-parametric control chart for controlling variability has been developed. Its in control state performances have been computed for different distributions and compared with existing Shewhart S chart. Its efficiency to detect shift in variability has been evaluated.

A New Multivariate Non-Parametric Control Chart Based on Sign Test

Multivariate statistical process control deserves particular attention in the recent scenario. Though, Hotelling control chart is quite popular and widely used technique in this field but its performance is deteriorated when the underlying distribution of the quality characteristics is not following multivariate normal distribution. Hence the need of developing a non-parametric multivariate con...

A control chart based on likelihood ratio test for monitoring process mean and variability

Recently, monitoring the process mean and variance simultaneously by using a single chart has drawn more and more attention. In this paper, we propose a new single chart that integrates the EWMA procedure with the generalized likelihood ratio (GLR) test statistics for jointly monitoring both the process mean and variance. It can be easily designed and constructed, and its average run length can...

A Robust Dispersion Control Chart Based on M-estimate

Process control charts are proven techniques for improving quality. Specifying the control limits is the most important step in designing a control chart. The presence of outliers may extremely affect the estimates of parameters using classical methods. Robust estimators which are not affected by outliers or the small departures from the model assumptions are applied in this paper to specify th...

Likelihood ratio test-based chart for monitoring the process variability

This paper proposes a new chart with the generalized likelihood ratio (GLR) test statistics for monitoring the process variance of a normally distributed process. The new chart can be easily designed and constructed and the computation results show that it provides quite a satisfactory performance, including the detection of the decrease in the variance and the individual observation at the sam...

A Control Chart for Monitoring Process Variability

The Shewhart and the Bonferroni-adjustment S control charts are usually applied to monitor the standard deviation of a quality characteristic. The control limits of these charts are constructed using approximately the normal distribution in case that the standard deviation parameter is known or unknown. In this paper, we establish a new S chart that is based approximately on the normal distribu...
