Abstract:

When a change occurs in a process, one expects to receive a signal from a control chart as quickly as possible. Upon the receipt of signal from the control chart a search for identifying the source of disturbance begins. However, searching for assignable cause around the signal time, due to the fact that the disturbance may have manifested itself into the rocess sometimes back, may not always lead to successful identification of assignable cause(s). If process engineers could identify the change point, i.e. the time when the disturbance first manifested itself into the process, then corrective actions could be directed towards effective elimination of the source of disturbance. In this paper we develop a maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) for process change point designed to detect changes in process variance of a normal quality characteristic when the change follows a linear trend. We describe how this estimator can be used to identify the change point when a Shewhart S-control chart signals a change in the process variance. Numerical results reveal that the proposed estimator outperforms the MLE designed for step change when a linear trend disturbance is present.

Estimating the Change Point of Binary Profiles with a Linear Trend Disturbance (Quality Engineering Conference Paper)

Identification of a real time of a change in a process, when an out-of-control signal is present is significant. This may reduce costs of defective products as well as the time of exploring and fixing the cause of defects. Another popular topic in the Statistical Process Control (SPC) is profile monitoring, where knowing the distribution of one or more quality characteristics may not be appropr...

1983: Variance Estimation for a Time Series with Linear Trend

The problem of variance estimation for a t ime series with linear trend is studied using model based procedures. The work done by Royall and Cumberland ((2), (3)) is refined and adapted to the special problems of the Current Employment Survey (790 Survey) at the Bureau of Labor Statistics. A variety of variance estimation techniques are examined; including a variation of jackknife estimation an...

Change-point estimation of the process fraction non-conforming with a linear trend in statistical process control

Despite the fact that control charts are able to trigger a signal when a process has changed, it does not indicate when the process change has begun. The time difference between the changing point and a signal of a control chart could cause confusions on the sources of the problems. Knowing the exact time of a process change would help to reduce the time for identification of the special cause....
