Resumen
This paper proposes a new combined npx X control chart for monitoring the mean of a process. A sample of size n is split into two sub-samples of sizes n1 and n2 =n-n1, determined by an optimization search. The units of the first sub-sample are evaluated by attributes and plotted on an npx control chart. If this chart signals an out-of-control condition, then values of the quality characteristic of interest are collected from the units of the second sub-sample, and the sample mean is calculated and plotted on an X control chart. If both control charts signal, then the process is halted for adjustment. The possibility that all n items will not be inspected may lead to a reduction in both the cost and time spent on examining the sampled items. The performance of the proposed procedure is compared to that of two separate X and npx control charts. The proposed procedure exhibits superior performance to the X control chart for a variety of sample sizes, n, and shifts, d, of the target mean. The average time to signal (ATS) for the combined control chart was lower than that calculated for a single X or npx control chart, indicating that the combined control chart is an efficient tool for monitoring the process mean.

The S chart with variable charting statistic to control bi and trivariate processes
Universidade Estadual Paulista (Unesp) (2017-11-01)In this article, we propose the S chart with variable charting statistic to control the covariance matrix as an alternative to the use of the bivariate |S| chart and the trivariate VMAX chart. As usual, samples are regularly ... -
Adaptive sample size control charts for attributes
Industrial Pontificia Universidade Católica; Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP) (2001-01-01)Theoretical results have shown that the X̄ chart with variable sample sizes (VSS) is quicker than the traditional X̄ chart for detecting moderate shifts in the process. The idea is to make the sample size vary depending ...
