Fuzzy rules for fuzzy $overline{X}$ and $R$ control charts
Authors
Abstract:
Statistical process control ($SPC$), an internationally recognized technique for improving product quality and productivity, has been widely employed in various industries. $SPC$ relies on the use of control charts to monitor a manufacturing process for identifying causes of process variation and signaling the necessity of corrective action for the process. Fuzzy data exist ubiquitously in the modern manufacturing process, and in this paper, two alternative approaches to fuzzy control charts are developed for monitoring sample averages and range. These approaches are based on "fuzzy mode" and "fuzzy rules" methods, when the measures are expressed by non-symmetric triangular fuzzy numbers. In contrast to the existing fuzzy control charts, the proposed approach does not require the use of the defuzzification and this prevents the loss of information included in samples. A numeric example illustrates the performance of the method and interprets the results.

Sensitizing Rules for Fuzzy Control Charts
Quality control charts indicate out of control conditions if any nonrandom pattern of the points is observed or any point is plotted beyond the control limits. Nonrandom patterns of Shewhart control charts are tested with sensitizing rules. When the processes are defined with fuzzy set theory, traditional sensitizing rules are insufficient for defining all out of control conditions. This is due...

This paper addresses the design of control charts for both variable ( x chart) andattribute (u and c charts) quality characteristics, when there is uncertainty about the processparameters or sample data. Derived control charts are more flexible than the strict crisp case, dueto the ability of encompassing the effects of vagueness in form of the degree of expert’spresumption. We extend the use o...

Abstract: Two approaches for constructing control charts to monitor multivariate attribute processes when data set is presented in linguistic form are suggested. Two monitoring statistics 2 f T and are developed based on fuzzy and probability theories. The first is similar to the Hotelling’s statistic and is based on representative values of fuzzy sets. The distribution of statistic, being a li...
full textFuzzy Short-Run Control Charts
Statistical control charts are useful tools in monitoring the state of a manufacturing process. Control charts are used to plot process data and compare it to the limits set for the process. Points plotting outside these limits indicate an out-of-control condition. Standard control charting procedures, however, are limited in that they cannot take into account the case when data is of a fuzzy n...
