Abstract Some industrial data often come with uncertainty, which in some cases depends on the decision of those responsible for taking measurement production process. While fuzzy approach helps to tackle ambiguity that arises measurement, an interval type-2 set deals such uncertainty better due its flexibility over control limits chart. This paper aims develop Interval Type-2 Exponentially Weig...

In the manufacture of metal fasteners in a progressive die operation, and other industrial situations, important quality dimensions cannot be measured on a continuous scale, and parts are classified into groups using a step gauge. This article proposes a version of exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) control charts applicable to monitoring the grouped data for process shifts. The run l...

Editor’s Note: This article and the first two accompanying discussions were presented orally at the Technomeirics session of the 33rd Annual Fall Technical Conference in Houston, Texas, October 25-27. 1989. The conference was cosponsored by the Chemical and Process Industries and the Statistics Divisions of the American Society for Quality Control and the Section on Physical and Engineering Sci...

Abbas et al. (Abbas N, Riaz M, Does RJMM. Enhancing the performance of EWMA charts. Quality and Reliability Engineering International 2011; 27(6):821–833) proposed the use of signaling schemes with exponentially weighted moving average charts (named as 2/2 and modified 2/3 schemes) for their improved design structures. A two-sided control structure of these schemes is given in the paper. The co...
