Nonparametric Control Charts Design and Analysis for Small Lot Production Based on the Moving Average

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper designed a moving average sampling method for small samples, further designed moving average (MA) control chart and moving average cumulative sum (MACS) control chart respectively, and calculated the in-control and out-of-control average run length for both charts. The charts are robust, which can monitor the process state effectively without knowing the distribution. Through analyzing the control chart costs and quality loss that is related to the production lot size, the control chart parameters are reasonably optimized. By comparing the average run lengths and some numerical examples, the paper finds that MACS chart has a good performance on detecting small shift within the small samples under the nonparametric condition.
