This paper is concerned witl). "a problem in which a firm is engaged in manufacturing a number of types and sizes of goods at equal intervals, e. g. monthly, and the production is forced to fulfill the customer's demand immediately. In general the products are subject to considerable variations in demands. Let us assume that the amount demanded is uncertain but has a certain probability distrib...

Background and objectives: Risk-adjusted Bernoulli control chart is one of the main tools for monitoring multistage healthcare processes to achieve higher performance and effectiveness in healthcare settings. Using parameter estimates can lead to significantly deteriorate chart performance. However, so far, the effect of estimation error on this chart in which healthcare ...

Control chart patterns (CCPs) can be associated with certain assignable causes, and recognition of such patterns can assist the diagnostic search for those causes. Variations could be one or more instances of trend, cyclic, hugging, sudden shift or some other variations over time. Each pattern has special statistical characteristics which differentiate one pattern from another. In a time series...

when a change occurs in a process, one expects to receive a signal from a control chart as quickly as possible. upon the receipt of signal from the control chart a search for identifying the source of disturbance begins. however, searching for assignable cause around the signal time, due to the fact that the disturbance may have manifested itself into the rocess sometimes back, may not always l...

a manufacturing process cannot be released to production until it has been proven to be stable. also, we cannot begin to talk about process capability until we have demonstrated stability in our process. this means that the process variation is the result of random causes only and all assignable or special causes have been removed. in complicated manufacturing processes, such as drilling proces...

The reliability data is getting used to monitor and improve the quality of products or services. Nowadays, most of products or services are the results of processes with dependent stages referred to as multi-stage process. In these processes, the quality characteristics are affected by the quality characteristics in the previous stages, called as cascade property. In some cases, it is not possi...

In this paper, a remedial measure is first proposed to eliminate the effect of autocorrelation in phase-ІІ monitoring of autocorrelated polynomial profiles, where there is a first order autoregressive (AR(1)) relation between the error terms in each profile. Then, a control chart based on the generalized linear test (GLT) is proposed to monitor the coefficients of polynomial profiles and an R-c...
