Economic-statistical design of synthetic np chart with estimated process parameter

Abstract

The economic-statistical design of the synthetic np chart with estimated process parameter is presented in this study. The effect of process parameter estimation on the expected cost of the synthetic np chart is investigated with the imposed statistical constraints. The minimum number of preliminary subgroups is determined where an almost similar expected cost to the known process parameter case is desired for the given cost model parameters. However, the available number of preliminary subgroups in practice is usually limited, especially when the number of preliminary subgroups is large. Consequently, the optimal chart parameters of the synthetic np chart are computed by considering the practical number of preliminary subgroups in which the cost function is minimized. This leads to a lower expected cost compared to that of adopting the optimal chart parameter corresponding to the known process parameter case.

Parameter Estimation Effect of the Homogeneously Weighted Moving Average Chart to Monitor the Mean of Autocorrelated Observations With Measurement Errors

“…Shewhart or memory-type) under the combined negative effect of autocorrelation and measurement errors; hence, following the procedure based on i.i.d. in [46] and [47], we intend to address this topic in a separate investigation.…”

The performance of the hypergeometric np chart with estimated parameter

“…Recently, there are also a lot of works focusing on the effects of parameter estimation on the performance of control charts that are worth to be mentioned, e.g. Zwetsloot & Woodall [44] (conditional performance of control charts), Chong et al [10,11] (optimal design of modified group runs charts), Hu et al [22], Khoo et al [25], Tang et al [39] (design of EWMA median charts), and Lee et al [28] (economic-statistical design of synthetic np charts). For literature reviews on the impact of parameter estimation on control charts performance we refer to Jensen et al [23] and Psarakis et al [36].…”

A side-sensitive synthetic chart for the multivariate coefficient of variation

“…A recent review of synthetic-type charts is available in Rakitzis et al [ 2 ]. Some of the more recent studies on synthetic charts are Lee et al [ 3 ], Haq and Khoo [ 4 ], Hu et al [ 5 ], Haq [ 6 ] and many others.…”
