Nonparametric Shewhart-type Quality Control Charts in Fuzzy Environment
Authors
Abstract:
Nonparametric control charts are presented in order to figure out the problem of detecting changes in the process median (or mean), or changes in the variability process where there is limited knowledge regarding the underlying process. When observations are reported imprecise, then it is impossible to use classical nonparametric control charts. This paper is devoted to the problem of constructing nonparametric control charts in presence of fuzzy data and parameters. For this aim, we propose two different methods: Dp,q -distance between fuzzy numbers and credibility measure for ranking fuzzy data, that can be used to construct sign and Wilcoxon signed-rank control charts. Then, this statistical control charts are applied to monitor location and scale parameters of a continuous statistical process. Finally, proposed control charts application is evaluated with numerical examples.

Estimation in Shewhart control charts
The influence of the estimation of parameters in Shewhart control charts is investigated. It is shown by simulation and asymptotics that (very) large sample sizes are needed to accurately determine control charts if estimators are plugged in. Correction terms are developed to get accurate control limits for common sample sizes in the in-control situation. Simulation and theory show that the new...

Multivariate control chats are generally used in situations where the simultaneous monitoring or control of two or more related quality characteristics is necessary. In most processes in the real world, distribution of the process characteristics are unknown or at least non-normal, so the non-parametric or distribution-free charts are desirable. Most non-parametric statistical process-control t...

The main goal of most organizations, no matter of their nature, object or size, is to be competitive as possible on the market, a crucial factor in ensuring a long operating duration. Unfortunately, the appearance of variation is a very bad and undesirable thing that determine a decrease in the companies productivity. Managing and providing a better view competitiveness can not be given unless ...

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...
full textQuality Quandaries: Interpretation of Signals from Runs Rules in Shewhart Control Charts
The Shewhart control chart is for many people the embodiment of statistical process control (SPC). In the past, many modifications and improvements have been devised (see Woodall and Montgomery [1999] for a brief overview). Several modifications or additions were aimed at more power for out-of-control situations. Among the earlier additions belong the runs rules from the Western Electric Compan...
full textNonparametric Control Charts for Bivariate High-quality Processes
For attribute data with (very) low rates of defectives, attractive control charts can be based on the maximum of subsequent groups of r failure times, for some suitable r ≥ 1, like r = 5. Such charts combine good performance with often highly needed robustness, as they allow a nonparametric adaptation already for Phase I samples of ordinary size. In the present paper we address the problem of e...
