The exponentially weighted moving average t chart using auxiliary information (AIB-EWMA-t chart) is an effective approach for monitoring small process mean shifts when the process standard deviation is unstable or poorly estimated. To further enhance the sensitivity of the AIB-EWMA-t chart, in this study, we propose an AIB generally weighted moving average (GWMA) t chart (AIB-GWMA-t chart) to monitor the process mean. The existing EWMA-t, GWMA-t, and AIB-EWMA-t charts are special cases of the AIB-GWMA-t chart. Numerical simulation studies indicate that the AIB-GWMA-t chart performs uniformly and substantially better than the EWMA-t and GWMA-t charts in terms of average run length. Moreover, the AIB-GWMA-t chart with large design and adjustment parameters also outperforms the AIB-EWMA-t chart when the correlation coefficients are within a certain range. An illustrative example is provided to highlight the efficiency of the proposed AIB-GWMA-t chart in detecting small process mean shifts.

In this paper, we investigate the misleading effect of measurement errors on simultaneous monitoring of the multivariate process mean and variability. For this purpose, we incorporate the measurement errors into a hybrid method based on the generalized likelihood ratio (GLR) and exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) control charts. After that, we propose four remedial methods to decrease the effects of measurement errors on the performance of the monitoring procedure. The performance of the monitoring procedure as well as the proposed remedial methods is investigated through extensive simulation studies and a real data example.

This study proposes EWMA-type control charts by considering some auxiliary information. The ratio estimation technique for the mean with ranked set sampling design is used in designing the control structure of the proposed charts. We have developed EWMA control charts using two exponential ratio-type estimators based on ranked set sampling for the process mean to obtain specific ARLs, being suitable when small process shifts are of interest.

In this paper, we have proposed a Hybrid Exponentially Weighted Moving Average (HEWMA) control chart. The proposed control chart is based on the exponential type estimator for mean using two auxiliary variables (cf. Noor-ul-Amin and Hanif, 2012). We call it an EHEWMA control chart because it is based on the exponential estimator of the mean. From this study, the fact is revealed that E-HEWMA control chart shows more efficient results as compared to traditional/simple EWMA chart and DS.EWMA control chart (cf. Raza and Butt, 2018). The comparison of the E-HEWMA control chart is also performed with the DS-EWMA chart. The proposed chart also outperforms the other control chartsin comparison. The E-HEWMA chart can be used for efficient monitoring of the production process in manufacturing industries.A simulated example has been used to compare the proposed and traditional/simple EWMA charts and DS.EWMA control chart. The control charts' performance is measured using the average run length-out of control (ARL1). It is observed that the proposed chart performs better than existing EWMA control charts.

In this paper, we propose a Hybrid Exponentially Weighted Moving Average (HEWMA) control chart based on a mixture ratio estimator of mean using a single auxiliary variable and a single auxiliary attribute (Moeen et al., [1]). We call it as Z- HEWMA control chart. The proposed control chart performance is evaluated using outof- control-Average Run Length (ARL1). The control limits of the proposed chart is based on estimator, its mean square errors. A simulated example is used to compare the proposed Z-HEWMA, traditional/simple EWMA chart and CUSUM control chart. From this study the fact is revealed that Z-HEWMA control chart shows more efficient results as compared to traditional/simple EWMA and CUSUM control charts. The Z-HEWMA chart can be used for efficient monitoring of the production process in manufacturing industries where auxiliary information about a numerical variable and an attribute is available.

The concept of control charts is based on mathematics and statistics to process forecast; which applications are widely used in industrial management. The sum of squares exponentially weighted moving average (SSEWMA) chart is a well-known tool for effectively monitoring both the increase and decrease in the process mean and/or variability. In this paper, we propose a novel SSEWMA chart using auxiliary information, called the AIB-SSEWMA chart, for jointly monitoring the process mean and/or variability. With our proposed chart, the attempt is to enhance the performance of the classical SSEWMA chart. Numerical simulation studies indicate that the AIB-SSEWMA chart has better detection ability than the existing SSEWMA and its competitive maximum EWMA based on auxiliary information (AIB-MaxEWMA) charts in view of average run lengths (ARLs). An illustrated example is used to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed AIB-SSEWMA chart in detecting small process shifts.

Cumulative Sum (Cusum) Control Schemes are widely used in industry for process and measurement control. Most Cusum applications have been in monitoring shifts in the mean level of a process rather than process variability. In this paper, we study the use of Markov chain approach in calculating the average run length (ARL) of a Cusum scheme when controlling variability. Control statisticsSandS2, whereSis the standard deviation of a normal process are used. The optimal Cusum schemes to detect small and large increases in the variability of a normal process are designed. The control statisticS2is then used to show that the Cusum scheme is superior to the exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) in terms of its ability to quickly detect any large or small increases in the variability of a normal process. It is also shown that Cusum with control statistics sample variance(S2)and sample standard deviation(S)perform uniformly better than those with control statisticlogS2. Fast initial response (FIR) Cusum properties are also presented.

The purpose of this research is to enhance performance for detecting a change in process mean by combining modified exponentially weighted moving average and sign control charts. This is nonparametric control chart which effective alternatives to the parametric control chart so called MEWMA-Sign. The nonparametric control chart can serve when process observations is deviated from normal distribution assumption. Generally, the performance of control charts are widely measured by average run length (ARL) divided into two cases; in control ARL (ARL0) and out of control ARL (ARL1). In this paper, the performance comparison is investigated when processes are non-normal distributions. The performance of the MEWMA-Sign is compared EWMA-Sign control chart by considering from a minimum value of ARL1. The numerical results found that the MEWMASign performs better than EWMA-Sign in order to detect a very small shift of mean process. Additionally, the real application of the MEWMA-Sign and EWMA-Sign are presented.

Water is one of the most important elements for human life, water treatment is done for human consumption and must fulfill the health requirements with the levels of certain parameters. Quality of Water Treatment II is the second water purification installation owned by PDAM Tirta Moedal Semarang City with production capacity of 60 l/s. Variables used in the water treatment process are correlated with each other, so used multivariate control chart. The Multivariate Exponentially Weighted Moving Average control chart is used for monitoring process mean, and the Multivariate Exponentially Weighted Moving Variance control chart is used for monitoring process variability. The variables used are colour, turbidity, organic substance, manganese and the total dissolved solid. MEWMA control chart with λ = 0.5, showed that the process mean is controlled statistically. MEWMV control chart showed that variability is controlled statistically in λ = 0.4, ω = 0.2 and L = 3.3213. MEWMA and MEWMV control chart showed that the process is not capable because it obtained the value of process capability index less than 1. Keywords: Water, Multivariate Exponentially Weighted Moving Average, Multivariate Exponentially Weighted Moving Variance, process capability.
