although control charts are very common to monitoring process changes, they usually do not indicate the real time of the changes. identifying the real time of the process changes is known as change-point estimation problem. there are a number of change point models in the literature however most of the existing approaches are dedicated to normal processes. in this paper we propose a novel appro...

Statistical process control methods for monitoring processes with univariate ormultivariate measurements are used widely when the quality variables fit to known probabilitydistributions. Some processes, however, are better characterized by a profile or a function of qualityvariables. For each profile, it is assumed that a collection of data on the response variable along withthe values of the c...

the multivariate exponentially weighted moving average (mewma) control chart is one of the best statistical control chart that are usually used to detect simultaneous small deviations on the mean of more than one cross-correlated quality characteristics. the economic design of mewma control charts involves solving a combinatorial optimization model that is composed of a nonlinear cost function ...

Service quality is becoming a strategic factor to retain existing customers and acquire new ones. It can be directly related to the extent to which the service successfully fulfills the needs of a customer and is often measured through questionnaires that are submitted to a population of customers. Different approaches have been proposed in the literature to analyze collected data. This paper p...

Multivariate quality control charts show some advantages to monitor several variables in comparison with the simultaneous use of univariate charts, nevertheless, there are some disadvantages. The main problem is how to interpret the out-ofcontrol signal of a multivariate chart. For example, in the case of control charts designed to monitor the mean vector, the chart signals showing that it must...

Generalized variance|S|quality control chart is very powerful way to detect small shifts in the mean vector. The main purpose of this paper, presents an improved the generalized variance |S|quality control chart for multivariate process. Generalized variance chart allow us to simultaneously monitor whether joint variability of two or more related variables is in control. In addition, a control ...

In some real applications of Statistical Process Control it is necessary to design a control chart to not detect small process shifts, but keeping a good performance to detect moderate and large shifts in the quality. In this work we develop a new quality control chart, the synthetic T control chart, which can be designed to cope with this objective. A multi-objective optimization is carried ou...

In today's highly competitive industrial environment due to fast technology development, quality practitioners will to detect out-of-control situations and take actions whenever is necessary as soon as possible. Accordingly, new statistical procedures have been enhanced incessantly both to handle high yield processes along with looking for methods of minimizing all quality cost. CCC-r chart, th...
