In most modern manufacturing systems, products are often the output of some multistage processes. In these processes, the stages are dependent on each other, where the output quality of each stage depends also on the output quality of the previous stages. This property is called the cascade property. Although there are many studies in multistage process monitoring, there are fewer works on prof...

Many actual multistage manufacturing processes are not serial structure, but parallel structure or hybrid structure. The quality relationship model for multistage manufacturing process with parallel structure was developed based on state space model. The quality relationship model of multistage manufacturing process with hybrid structure was developed via the hierarchical iteration method based...

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 ...
