Monitoring and Diagnosing Multistage Processes: A Review of Cause Selecting Control Charts
Authors
Abstract:
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 design, autocorrelated processes and adaptive design parameters of cause selecting charts are discussed. The results reveal that cause selecting charts outperform traditional Shewhart charts for individuals when the process steps are dependent, in view of the relationship between input and output quality characteristics. A new method for modeling and simulating a multistage process is proposed which can prove to be more reasonable in real practice. Finally, various directions for future research are given.

Control Charts for Autocorrelated Processes : a Review
One of the primary tools used in statistical quality control is the control charts. The standard assumptions that are usually cited in justifying the use of control charts are that the data generated by the in control process are independent and identically distributed. However the independency assumption is not realistic in practice. Data sets collected from industrial processes may have corre...

• The Shewhart control charts, used for monitoring industrial processes, are the most popular tools in Statistical Process Control (SPC). They are usually developed under the assumption of independent and normally distributed data, an assumption rarely true in practice, and implemented with estimated control limits. But in general, we essentially want to control the process mean value and the p...
full textDeveloping A Cause Selecting Control Chart for Monitoring Two–Stage Processes with Poisson Quality Characteristic
Nowadays, most of products are the results of different dependent process steps. Due to the cascade property in most of these processes, using the traditional control charts for monitoring these processes is not suitable. To solve this problem, Cause selecting Charts (CSCs) are developed to monitor multistage processes. These control charts have usually been developed when quality characteristi...

Monitoring the reliability of products in both the manufacturing and service processes is of main concern in today’s competitive market. To this end, statistical process control has been widely used to control the reliability-related quality variables. The so-far surveillance schemes have addressed processes with independent quality characteristics. In multistage processes, however, the cascade...
full textA 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 ...
full textUnivariate and multivariate control charts for monitoring dynamic-behavior processes: a case study
The majority of classic SPC methodologies assume a steady-state (i.e., static) process behavior (i.e., the process mean and variance are constant) without the influence of the dynamic behavior (i.e., an intended or unintended shift in the process mean or variance). Traditional SPC has been successfully used in steady-state manufacturing processes, but these approaches are not valid for use in d...
