A Self-starting Control Chart for Simultaneous Monitoring of Mean and Variance of Simple Linear Profiles

Authors

Abstract:

In many processes in real practice at the start-up stages the process parameters are not known a priori and there are no initial samples or data for executing Phase I monitoring and estimating the process parameters. In addition, the practitioners are interested in using one control chart instead of two or more for monitoring location and variability of processes. In this paper, we consider a simple linear profile in which the relationship between a response variable and one explanatory characterizes the quality of a process. We proposed a self-starting Max-CUSUM control chart based on recursive residuals to monitor mean vector (including intercept and slope) and variability (variance of error term) of a simple linear profile simultaneously from the start-up stages of the process. We developed Max-CUSUM control chart to monitor simple linear profile in Phase II. Then, we compared our proposed control charts with the best one in the literature through simulation studies. The simulation results showed that our proposed control charts have better performance compared to competitive control charts under moderate and large shifts in terms of out-of-control (OC) ARLs. Finally, the application of the proposed self-starting control chart is illustrated through a real case in the leather industry.

Providing comprehensive control chart for monitoring of linear and nonlinear profiles using functional data analysis.

Considering profiles as functional variables, two control charts are proposed for their monitoring in phase II. Due to its conformity with the nature of real-world profiles, applying functional model leads to proposed control charts obtained through functional data analysis techniques with desired features. These include simplicity in calculation and possibility of using them for different prof...

Self-Starting Control Chart and Post Signal Diagnostics for Monitoring Project Earned Value Management Indices

Earned value management (EVM) is a well-known approach in a project control system which uses some indices to track schedule and cost performance of a project. In this paper, a new statistical framework based on self-starting monitoring and change point estimation is proposed to monitor correlated EVM indices which are usually auto-correlated over time and non-normally distributed. Also, a new ...

A Review and Evaluation of Statistical Process Control Methods in Monitoring Process Mean and Variance Simultaneously

In this paper, first the available single charting methods, which have been proposed to detect simultaneous shifts in a single process mean and variance, are reviewed. Then, by designing proper simulation studies these methods are evaluated in terms of in-control and out-ofcontrol average run length criteria (ARL). The results of these simulation experiments show that the EWMA and EWMS methods ...

Control chart based on likelihood ratio for monitoring linear profiles

A control chart based on the likelihood ratio is proposed for monitoring the linear profiles. The new chart which integrates the EWMA procedure can detect shifts in either the intercept or the slope or the standard deviation, or shifts simultaneously by a single chart, which is different from other control charts in literature for linear profiles. The results by Monte Carlo simulation show that...

A risk adjusted self-starting Bernoulli CUSUM control chart with dynamic probability control limits

Usually, in monitoring schemes the nominal value of the process parameter is assumed known. However, this assumption is violated owing to costly sampling and lack of data particularly in healthcare systems. On the other hand, applying a fixed control limit for the risk-adjusted Bernoulli chart causes to a variable in-control average run length performance for patient populations with dissimilar...

A Synthetic Scaled Weighted Variance Control Chart for Monitoring the Process Mean of Skewed Populations

In this paper, a synthetic scaled weighted variance Xbar (synthetic SWV-Xbar) control chart is proposed to monitor the process mean of skewed populations. A comparison between the performances of the synthetic SWV-Xbar and synthetic WV-Xbar charts are made in terms of the average run length (ARL) values for the various levels of skewnesses as well as different magnitudes of positive and negativ...
