Chapter 8 Alternatives to Shewhart Charts. Introduction. The Shewhart charts are the most commonly used control charts. Charts with superior properties have been developed.
E N D
Introduction • The Shewhart charts are the most commonly used control charts. • Charts with superior properties have been developed. • “In many cases the processes to which SPC is now applied differ drastically from those which motivated Shewhart’s methods.”
8.2 Cumulative Sum Procedures:Principles and Historical Development
Cusum Example N(0,1) N(0.5,1)
Runs Criteria and their Impacts • Runs Criteria • 2 out of 3 beyond the warning limits (2-sigma limits) • 4 out of 5 beyond the 1-sigma limits • 8 consecutive on one side • 8 consecutive points on one side of the center line. • 8 consecutive points up or down across zones. • 14 points alternating up or down. • Somewhat impractical • Very short in-control ARL (~91.75 with all run rules)
Cusum Procedures (8.1) (8.3)
8.2.4 Cusum with Estimated Parameters • Parameter estimates based on a small amount of data can have a very large effect on the Cusum procedures.
8.4 Applications of Cusum Procedures • Cusum charts can be used in the same range of applications as Shewhart charts can be used in a wide variety of manufacturing and non-manufacturing applications.
8.6 Cusum Procedures for Non-conforming Units (8.6) (8.7)
8.7 Cusum Procedures for Non-conformity Data • The z-values differ considerably at the two extremes: c15 and c2
8.8 Exponentially Weighted Moving Average Charts • Exponentially Weighted Moving Average (EWMA) chart is similar to a Cusum procedure in detecting small shifts in the process mean.
8.8.1 EWMA Chart for Subgroup Averages (8.9) (8.10)
8.8.1 EWMA Chart for Subgroup Averages • Selection of L (L-sigma limits), , and n: • For detecting a 1-sigma shift, L = 3.00, = 0.25 • Comparison with Cusum charts • Computation requirement: About the same • EWMA are scale dependent, SH and SL are scale independent • If the EWMA has a small (large) value and there is an increase (decrease) in the mean, the EWMA can be slow in detecting the change. • Recommendation of using EWMA charts with Shewhart limits
8.8.3 EWMA Chart for Individual Observations (8.9)’ (8.10)’
8.8.4 Shewhart-EWMA Chart • EWMA chart is good for detecting small shifts, but is inferior to a Shewhart chart for detecting large shifts. • It is desirable to combine the two. The general idea is to use Shewhart limits that are larger than 3-sigma limits.
8.8.6 Designing EWMA Charts with Estimated Parameters • The minimum sample size that will result in desirable chart properties should be identified for each type of EWMA control chart. • As many as 400 in-control subgroups may be needed if = 0.1.
