Real Life Data

Conventional control charts are one of the most important techniques in statistical process control which are used to assess the performance of processes to see whether they are in- or out-of-control. As traditional control charts deal with crisp data, they are not suitable to study unclear, vague, and fuzzy data. In many real-world applications, however, the data to be used in a control charting method are not crisp since they are approximated due to environmental uncertainties and systematic ambiguities involved in the systems under investigation. In these situations, fuzzy numbers and linguistic variables are used to grab such uncertainties. That is why the use of a fuzzy control chart, in which fuzzy data are used, is justified. As an exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) scheme is usually used to detect small shifts, in this paper a fuzzy EWMA (F-EWMA) control chart is proposed to detect small shifts in the process mean when fuzzy data are available. The application of the newly developed fuzzy control chart is illustrated using real-life data.

Statistical process control is an important tool for maintaining the quality of a production process. Several control charts are available to monitor changes in process parameters. In this study, a control chart for the process mean is proposed. For this purpose, an auxiliary variable is used in the form of a regression estimator under the configuration of the hybrid exponentially weighted moving average (HEWMA) control chart. The proposed chart is evaluated by conducting a simulation study. The results showed that the proposed chart is sensitive with respect to the HEWMA chart. A real-life application is also presented to demonstrate the performance of the proposed control chart.

In this paper, two methods of control chart were proposed to monitor the process based on the two-parameter Gompertz distribution. The proposed methods are the Gompertz Shewhart approach and Gompertz skewness correction method. A simulation study was conducted to compare the performance of the proposed chart with that of the skewness correction approach for various sample sizes. Furthermore, real-life data on thickness of paint on refrigerators which are nonnormal data that have attributes of a Gompertz distribution were used to illustrate the proposed control chart. The coverage probability (CP), control limit interval (CLI), and average run length (ARL) were used to measure the performance of the two methods. It was found that the Gompertz exact method where the control limits are calculated through the percentiles of the underline distribution has the highest coverage probability, while the Gompertz Shewhart approach and Gompertz skewness correction method have the least CLI and ARL. Hence, the two-parameter Gompertz-based methods would detect out-of-control faster for Gompertz-based X¯ charts.

In the field of statistical process control (SPC), usually two issues are addressed; the variables and the attribute quality characteristics control charting. Focusing on discrete data generated from a process to be monitored, attributes control charts would be useful. The discrete data could be classified into two categories; the independent and auto-correlated data. Regarding the independence in the sequence of discrete data, the typical Shewhart-based control charts, such as p-chart and np-chart would be effective enough to monitor the related process. But considering auto-correlation in the sequence of the data, such control charts would not workanymore. In this paper, considering the auto-correlated sequence of X1, X2,…, Xt,… as the sequence of zeros or ones, we have developed a control chart based on a two-state Markov model. This control chart is compared with the previously developed charts in terms of the average number of observations (ANOS) measure. In addition, a case study related to the diabetic people is investigated to demonstrate the applicability and high performance of the developed chart.

ABSTRACT Statistical process control in mechanized farming is a new way to assess operation quality. In this sense, we aimed to compare three statistical process control tools applied to losses in sugarcane mechanical harvesting to determine the best control chart template for this quality indicator. Losses were daily monitored in farms located within Triângulo Mineiro region, in Minas Gerais state, Brazil. They were carried over a period of 70 days in the 2014 harvest. At the end of the evaluation period, 194 samples were collected in total for each type of loss. The control charts used were individual values chart, moving average and exponentially weighted moving average. The quality indicators assessed during sugarcane harvest were the following loss types: full grinding wheel, stumps, fixed piece, whole cane, chips, loose piece and total losses. The control chart of individual values is the best option for monitoring losses in sugarcane mechanical harvesting, as it is of easier result interpretation, in comparison to the others.

This investigation elucidates the feasibility of monitoring a process for which observational data are largely autocorrelated. Special causes typically affect not only the process mean but also the process variance. The EWMA control chart has recently been developed and adopted to detect small shifts in the process mean and/or variance. This work extends the EWMA control chart, called the generally weighted moving average (GWMA) control chart, to monitor a process in which the observations can be regarded as a first-order autoregressive process with a random error. The EWMA and GWMA control charts of residuals used to monitor process variability and to monitor simultaneously the process mean and variance are considered to evaluate how average run lengths (ARLs) differ in each case.

Quality control is an important role in industry for maintain quality stability.  Statistical process control can quickly investigate the occurrence of unforeseen causes or process shifts using control charts. Mixed Exponentially Weighted Moving Average - Cumulative Sum (MEC) control chart is a tool used to monitor and evaluate whether the production process is in control or not. The MEC control chart method is a combination of the Exponentially Weighted Moving Average (EWMA) and Cumulative Sum (CUSUM) charts. Combining the two charts aims to increase the sensitivity of the control chart in detecting out of control. To compare the sensitivity level of the EWMA, CUSUM, and MEC methods, the Average Run Length (ARL) was used. From the comparison of ARL values, the MEC chart is the most sensitive control chart in detecting out of control compared to EWMA and CUSUM charts for small shifts. Keywords: Grafik Pengendali, Exponentially Weighted Moving Average, Cumulative Sum, Mixed EWMA-CUSUM, Average Run Lenght, EWMA, CUSUM, MEC, ARL

While researchers and practitioners may seamlessly develop methods of detecting outliers in control charts under a univariate setup, detecting and screening outliers in multivariate control charts pose serious challenges. In this study, we propose a robust multivariate control chart based on the Stahel-Donoho robust estimator (SDRE), whilst the process parameters are estimated from phase-I. Through intensive Monte-Carlo simulation, the study presents how the estimation of parameters and presence of outliers affect the efficacy of the Hotelling T2 chart, and then how the proposed outlier detector brings the chart back to normalcy by restoring its efficacy and sensitivity. Run-length properties are used as the performance measures. The run length properties establish the superiority of the proposed scheme over the default multivariate Shewhart control charting scheme. The applicability of the study includes but is not limited to manufacturing and health industries. The study concludes with a real-life application of the proposed chart on a dataset extracted from the manufacturing process of carbon fiber tubes.

Complex Products may present more than one type of defects and these defects are not always of equal severity. These defects are classified according to their seriousness and effect on product quality and performance. Demerit systems are very effective systems to monitoring the different types of defects. So, classical demerit control chart used to monitor counts of several different types of defects simultaneously in complex products. Recently, H.W. Kang et al.[7] introduced Demerit-GWMA(generally weighted moving average) and Demerit-EWMA control charts that can detect small shifts of the process mean more sensitively than the classical demerit control charts. In this paper, we present an effective method for process control using the Demerit-GWMA statistics with fast initial response. Moreover, we evaluate exact performance of the Demerit-GWMA control chart with fast initial response(FIR), Demerit-GWMA and Demerit-EWMA according to changing sample size or parameters.

Randomized Response Techniques

Data privacy is a serious issue and therefore needs our attention. In this study, we propose masking through randomized response techniques (RRTs) to ensure the privacy and thus to avoid falsification. We assume that the process characteristic is of sensitive nature, and due to privacy issue, the actual measurements cannot be shared with the monitoring team. In such situations, the producer is very likely to falsify the measurements. Consequently, the usual control charting techniques will mislead about the process status. We discuss different data masking strategies to be used with Shewhart-type control charts. The usual Shewhart-type control chart appears to be a subchart of the proposed charts. Average run length (ARL) is used as a performance measure of the study proposals. We have evaluated the performance of the proposed charts for different shift sizes and under different intensities of masking. We have also carried out a comparative analysis for various models under varying sensitivity parameters. We have also compared the performance of the proposals with the traditional Shewhart chart. It is observed that the B-L control chart under the RRT model performs better for smaller shifts and for larger shift sizes, the G-B chart under an unrelated question model tperforms better. A real-life application of the study proposal is also considered where monitoring of thickness of paint on refrigerators is of interest.

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.
