Steady-state-optimal adaptive control charts based on variable sampling intervals

Variable sampling interval (VSI) control charts vary the sampling rate adaptively as a function of the data coming from the process in order to reduce the detection delay of process changes. Zero-time performance refers to the detection delay of a process change that is present during the onset of the chart at time zero. Steady-state performance refers to the detection delay of a process change that occurs after the chart has been operating for some time. The zero-time performance of a VSI control chart can differ considerably from the chart's steady-state performance, which is generally more important than the zero-time performance. We develop an efficient quadratic-programming algorithm for the construction and investigation of steady-state-optimal sampling policies for various VSI charts. We show that a steady-state-optimal VSI scheme is fundamentally different from the respective zero-time-optimal VSI scheme, and recommend VSI policies based on two sampling intervals for the various types of control charts considered.

Hotelling’s T charts with variable sample size and control limit

The ideas of variable sampling interval (VSI), variable sample size (VSS), variable sample size and sampling interval (VSSI), and variable parameters (VP) in the univariate case have been successfully applied to the multivariate case to improve the efficiency of Hotelling’s T² chart with fixed sampling rate (FSR) in detecting small process shifts. However, the main disadvantage in using most of these control schemes is an increasing in the complexity due to the adaptive changes in sampling intervals. In this paper, retaining the lengths of sampling intervals constant, a variable sample size and control limit (VSSC) T² chart is proposed and described. The statistical efficiency of the VSSC T² chart in terms of the average time to signal a shift in process mean vector is compared with that of the VP, VSSI, VSS, VSI, and FSR T² charts. From the results of comparison, it shows that the VSSC T² chart for a (very) small shift in the process mean vector gives a better performance than the VSSI, VSS, VSI, and FSR T² charts; meanwhile, it presents a similar performance to the VP T² chart. Furthermore, from the viewpoint of practicability, it is more convenient for administrating the control chart than the VSI, VSSI, and VP T² chart. Thus, it may provide a good option for quick response to small shifts in a multivariate process.     

Multivariate nonparametric control chart with variable sampling interval

This paper proposes an adaptive, multivariate, nonparametric, exponentially weighted moving average control chart with variable sampling interval. A number of studies have discussed multivariate nonparametric control charts. However, the proposed multivariate nonparametric control charts usually have strict requirements. In this paper, we construct a control chart for multivariate processes that is based on the Mahalanobis depth. Specifically, we use the concept of the Mahalanobis depth to reduce each multivariate measurement to a univariate index. It is worth mentioning that this approach is completely nonparametric. We also discuss the optimal strategy for the parameters. This chart is an adaptive chart and has a variable sampling interval. A simulation study demonstrates that the proposed chart is efficient in detecting various magnitudes of shifts. A gravel data and a wine quality detection example are given to introduce the proposed control chart.     

Cumulative conformance count chart with variable sampling intervals and control limits

The cumulative conformance count (CCC) chart has been used for monitoring processes with very low fraction of nonconforming items. Typically, the items produced from the process were examined using 100% inspection for generating the CCC chart. However, this would be costly when taking the inspection cost and time into consideration and thus limit its application. Instead of inspecting the items one by one, this study takes sample from them, and regards the time between two successive samples as the sampling interval. In order to increase the sensitivity of the CCC chart to process change, the sampling interval and control limits are allowed to vary in this study. The average time to signal process change of the modified CCC chart (called the variable sampling interval and control limit (VSI/VCL) CCC chart) is derived by the Markov chain approach and taken as the performance measure to evaluate its statistical efficiency. With some minor changes, this chart can be reduced to the VSI CCC chart, the VCL CCC chart, and the standard CCC chart. In addition, comparisons among them are made and discussed.

Design of a multivariate exponentially weighted moving average control chart with variable sampling intervals

This study develops a procedure for the statistical design of the variable sampling intervals (VSI) multivariate exponentially weighted moving average (MEWMA) chart. The VSI MEWMA chart is compared with the corresponding fixed sampling interval (FSI) MEWMA chart, in terms of the steady-state average time to signal for different magnitude of shifts in the process mean vector. It is shown that the VSI MEWMA chart performs better than the corresponding standard FSI MEWMA chart for detecting a wide range of shifts in the process mean vector.

自相关对常规控制图影响的模拟研究与案例分析

常规统计控制图的基本假设前提是观测值独立同分布,而在实际生产过程中,质量指标值常表现出自相关现象,违背独立性假定。本文运用平均链长(ARL)研究自相关过程为AR(1)时对常规控制图的影响,并比较了常规控制图和残差控制图对序列相关过程的控制效果。模拟结果和实例分析表明:当过程序列相关时,使用常规作图法估计出的标准差是有偏的,致使控制限设置错误和常规控制图检测能力降低。因此,在一些统计过程控制中,须考虑自相关现象并采用适当的控制图方法。     

���ӻ����Ʒ��Ԫ~FT VSI~��Ҷ˹����ͼ�����о�

Aiming at the complex mechanical and electrical products quality control and early warning problems, a performance analysis model of control chart, which combines the multivariate Bayesian statistical method with the economic performance analysis is constructed. In the solution model, a FT VSI strategy is used in the multivariate Bayesian control chart. If a small probability of random failure occurs, then a loose sampling scheme is selected. Otherwise, a strict sampling program is applied. To quantify the correlation between the economic and the statistical performance of the multivariate Bayesian control chart, a quality control model based on Monte Carlo simulation is used and the ANOSE (Average Number of Observations to Signals or End of the production run) is taken under different economic parameters, which performs the degree of influence of the statistical performance of the control chart. In addition, the relationship between the quality control cost and the false alarm rate of the multi-Bayesian control chart is explained. Finally, for instance, a multiple quality control process of the automatic transmission of the automobile is used to verify the performance evaluation and optimization of the multivariate FT VSI Bayesian control chart. The results show that the method has a better application.     

Multivariate Bayesian process control for a finite production run

Most industrial products and processes are characterized by several, typically correlated measurable variables, which jointly describe the product or process quality. Various control charts such as Hotelling’s T², EWMA and CUSUM charts have been developed for multivariate quality control, where the values of the chart parameters, namely the sample size, sampling interval and the control limits are determined to satisfy given economic and/or statistical requirements. It is well known that this traditional non-Bayesian approach to a control chart design is not optimal, but very few results regarding the form of the optimal Bayesian control policy have appeared in the literature, all limited to a univariate chart design. In this paper, we consider a multivariate Bayesian process mean control problem for a finite production run under the assumption that the observations are values of independent, normally distributed vectors of random variables. The problem is formulated in the POMDP (partially observable Markov decision process) framework and the objective is to determine a control policy minimizing the total expected cost. It is proved that under standard operating and cost assumptions the control limit policy is optimal. Cost comparisons with the benchmark chi-squared chart and the MEWMA chart show that the Bayesian chart is highly cost effective, the savings are larger for smaller values of the critical Mahalanobis distance between the in-control and out-of-control process mean.

Individuals control schemes for monitoring the mean and variance of processes subject to drifts

This paper investigates control chart schemes for detecting drifts in the process mean μ and/or process standard deviation σ when individual observations are sampled. Drifts may be due to causes such as gradual deterioration of equipment, catalyst aging, waste accumulation, or human causes, such as operator fatigue or close supervision. The standard Shewhart X chart and moving range (MR) chart are evaluated, as well as several types of exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) charts and combinations of charts involving these EWMA charts. We show that the combinations of the EWMA charts detect slow-rate and moderate-rate drifts much faster than the combined X and MR charts. We also show that varying the sampling interval adaptively as a function of the process data results in notable reductions in the detection delay of drifts in μ and/or σ.

An evaluation of the multivariate dispersion charts with estimated parameters under non‐normality

Various charts such as |S|, W, and G are used for monitoring process dispersion. Most of these charts are based on the normality assumption, while exact distribution of the control statistic is unknown, and thus limiting distribution of control statistic is employed which is applicable for large sample sizes. In practice, the normality assumption of distribution might be violated, while it is not always possible to collect large sample size. Furthermore, to use control charts in practice, the in‐control state usually has to be estimated. Such estimation has a negative effect on the performance of control chart. Non‐parametric bootstrap control charts can be considered as an alternative when the distribution is unknown or a collection of large sample size is not possible or the process parameters are estimated from a Phase I data set. In this paper, non‐parametric bootstrap multivariate control charts |S|, W, and G are introduced, and their performances are compared against Shewhart‐type control charts. The proposed method is based on bootstrapping the data used for estimating the in‐control state. Simulation results show satisfactory performance for the bootstrap control charts. Ultimately, the proposed control charts are applied to a real case study.     

Distribution‐free precedence control charts with improved runs‐rules

Distribution‐free (nonparametric) control charts are helpful in applications where we do not have enough information about the underlying distribution. The Shewhart precedence charts is a class of Phase I nonparametric charts for location. One of these charts, called the median precedence chart (Med chart hereafter), uses the median of the test sample as the charting statistic, whereas another chart, called the minimum precedence chart (Min chart hereafter), uses the minimum. In this paper, we first study the comparative performance of the Min and the Med charts, respectively, in terms of their in‐control and out‐of‐control run‐length properties in an extensive simulation study. It is seen that neither chart is best as each has its strength in certain situations. Next, we consider enhancing their performance by adding some supplementary runs‐rules. It is seen that the new charts present very attractive run‐length properties, that is, they outperform their competitors in many situations. A summary and some concluding remarks are given.
