  1. The Monitoring of Linear ProfilesKeun Pyo Kim Mahmoud A. MahmoudWilliam H. WoodallVirginia Tech Blacksburg, VA 24061-0439(Send request for paper, submitted to JQT, to bwoodall@vt.edu)

  2. We assume that for the jth random sample collected over time, we have the observations (xi , yij), i = 1, 2, …, n.

  3. Applications include… • Calibration problems in analytical chemistry (Stover and Brill, 1998) • Semiconductor manufacturing (Kang and Albin, 2000) • Automobile manufacturing (Lawless et al., 1999) • DOE applications (Miller, 2002 and Nair et al. 2002)

  4. It is assumed that when the process is in statistical control, the underlying model isi = 1, 2, …, n,  where the ’s are independent, identically distributed (i.i.d.) N(0, ).

  5. The least squares estimators and have have a bivariate normal distribution with the mean vector and the variance-covariance matrix

  6. Phase II First we consider the Phase II case involving process monitoring with in-control values of the parameters assumed to be known.

  7. The first control strategy of Kang and Albin (2000) is a T2 chart based on the estimated regression coefficients

  8. Their second control strategy is to apply an EWMA - R chart combination scheme to the residuals obtained with each sample.

  9. The residuals for the jth sample are i = 1, 2, … , n.

  10. Instead, we propose scaling the X-values to obtain the model

  11. Since now the least squares estimators are independent, we recommend three EWMA charts in Phase II to detect sustained shifts in the parameters. There is a chart for each regression coefficient and one for the variation about the line.

  12. ARL Comparisons We use the in-control model with error terms i.i.d. N(0, 1). The values for X are 2, 4, 6, 8.

  13. Our proposed method (EWMA_3) has better ARL performance than competing methods. The interpretation is also much easier.

  14. Phase I In Phase I, one has k sets of bivariate observations. One checks for stability of the linear profiles over time and estimates parameters.

  15. We recommend Shewhart type charts for each regression parameter and change-point methods.EWMA charts are not recommended in Phase I.

  16. Relationship to Regression-adjusted Control Charts Monitoring linear profiles is a generalization of regression-adjusted methods studied by Mandel (1969), Zhang (1992), Wade and Woodall (1993), Hawkins (1991, 1993), and Hauck et. al (1999).

  17. Suppose X is an input quality variable and Y is the output quality variable with k = 1 and n = 1. Then we have the simplest regression-adjusted chart, sometimes referred to as the cause-selecting chart. (Note X-values are random.)

  18. Conclusions • Monitoring linear profiles seems to be quite useful. • Regression-adjusted methods deserve wider application since usual methods can be misleading if output quality is affected by input quality as is often the case. • Methods can be extended to more complicated models.
