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...

Change point detection has been recognized as an essential component of root cause analyses within quality control programs as it enables clinical experts to search for potential causes of disturbance in hospital outcomes more effectively. In this paper, we consider estimation of the time when a linear trend disturbance has occurred in an in-control clinical dichotomous process in the presence ...

The application of protective gel, which is a subprocess of the electronic assembly of the exhaust gas recircula‐ tion sensor, is a highly capable process with the fraction of nonconforming units as low as 200 ppm. Every unit is inspected immediately after gel application. The conven‐ tional Shewhart chart is of no use here, and the ap‐ proach based on the Bernoulli process is therefore conside...

In order to achieve the maximum flexibility in adaptation to ever changing customer’s expectations in customer relationship management, appropriate measures of customer behavior should be continually monitored. To this end, control charts adjusted for buyer’s/visitor’s prior intention to repurchase or visit again are suitable means taking into account the heterogeneity across customers. In the ...

The cumulative sum (CUSUM) control chart is widely used in industry for the detection of small and moderate shifts in process location and dispersion. For efficient monitoring of process variability, we present several CUSUM control charts for monitoring changes in standard deviation of a normal process. The newly developed control charts based on well-structured sampling techniques - extreme r...

Optimality of CUSUM under a Lorden type criterion setting is considered. We demonstrate the optimality of the CUSUM test for Itô processes, in a sense similar to Lorden’s, but with a criterion that replaces expected delays by the corresponding KullbackLeibler divergence. Key-words: CUSUM, change-point, disorder problem, Kullback-Leibler divergence, sequential detection. Optimalité de la Procédu...

For an improved monitoring of process parameters, it is generally desirable to have ef?cient designs of control charting structures. The addition of Shewhart control limits to the cumulative sum (CUSUM) control chart is a simple monitoring scheme sensitive to wide range of mean shifts. To improve the detection ability of the combined Shewhart–CUSUM control chart to off-target processes, we deve...
