We investigate both of central and dispersion tendencies of the observed test statistics in control charts in order to judge whether a production process is abnormal or not. In order to do it, first, we study about detection of changes of the population mean as a central tendency The $\bar{x}$ and x control charts are used for detecting the change of the population mean $\mu$. We shows the probability detecting the change of population mean using the $\bar{x}$ and x control charts. Secondly, we study about detection of changes of the population standard deviation as a dispersion tendency in the s control chart. In our studies, for the given several parameters the detection probabilities of changes of central and dispersion tendencies are calculated, the necessary sample size values n are suggested for detecting the changes, and their informations are given as various tables.

${\overline{X}}$ control chart has proven to be an effective tool to improve the product quality. Shewhart charts assume that the observations are independent and normally distributed. Under the presence of positive autocorrelation and severe skewness, the control limits are not accurate because assumptions are violated- Autocorrelation in process measurements results in frequent false alarms when standard control chats are applied in process monitoring. In this paper, Threshold Bootstrap and Moving Block Bootstrap are used for constructing a confidence interval of correlated observations. Monte Carlo simulation studies are conducted to compare the performance of the bootstrap methods and that of standard method for constructing control charts under several conditions.

The target costing technique, mathematically discussed by Sauers, only uses the $C_p$ index along with Taguchi loss function and ${\bar{X}}-R$ control charts to set up goal control limits. The new specification limits derived from Taguchi loss function is linked through the $C_p$ value to ${\bar{X}}-R$ control charts to obtain goal control limits. This study further considers the reflected normal loss function as well as the $C_{pk}$ index along with its lower confidence interval in forming goal control limits. With the use of lower confidence interval to replace the point estimator of the $C_{pk}$ index and reflected normal loss function proposed by Spiring to measure the loss to society, this modified and improved target costing technique would become more robust and applicable in practice. Finally, an example is provided to illustrate how this modified and improved target costing technique works.

With the increasing interest of reducing process variation, statistical process control has served the pivotal tool in most industrial quality programs. In this study, system analyses have been performed associated with a cost incorporated version of a process control, a quadratic loss-based X over bar control chart model. Specifically, two issues, the capital/research investments for improvement of a system and the precision of a parameter estimation, have been addressed and discussed. Through the analysis of experimental results, we show that process variability is seen to be one of the most important sources of loss and quality improvement efforts should be directed to reduce this variability. We further derive the results that, even if the optimal designs may be sensitive, the model appears to be robust with regard to misspecification of parameters. The approach and discussion taken in this study provide a meaningful guide for proper process control. We conclude this study with providing general comments.

When a failure or fault is detected, the product is adjusted or design change and is returned to its original condition before the failure or fault. Continuous improvement of the FMEA system is to determine an optimum product reliability that minimizes the total cost per unit time associated with inspection, repair, and the nondetection cost.

A machine vision system (MVS) is a computer system that utilizes one or more image-capturing devices to provide image data for analysis and interpretation. Recently there have been a number of industrial- and medical-device applications where control charts have been proposed for use with image data. The use of image-based control charting is somewhat different from traditional control charting applications, and these differences can be attributed to several factors, such as the type of data monitored and how the control charts are applied. In this paper, we investigate the adjustment effect of image size and region of interest (ROI) size, when we use control charts to monitor grayscale image data in industry.

Control chart is representative tools of statistical process control (SPC). It is a graph that plotting the characteristic values from the process. It has two steps (or Phase). First step is a procedure for finding a process parameters. It is called Phase I. This step is to find the process parameters by using data obtained from in-controlled process. It is a step that the standard value was not determined. Another step is monitoring process by already known process parameters from Phase I. It is called Phase II. These control chart is the process quality characteristic value for management, which is plotted dot whether the existence within the control limit or not. But, this is not given information about the economic loss that occurs when a product characteristic value does not match the target value. In order to meet the customer needs, company not only consider stability of the process variation but also produce the product that is meet the target value. Taguchi's quadratic loss function is include information about economic loss that occurred by the mismatch the target value. However, Taguchi's quadratic loss function is very simple quadratic curve. It is difficult to realistically reflect the increased amount of loss that due to a deviation from the target value. Also, it can be well explained by only on condition that the normal process. Spiring proposed an alternative loss function that called reflected normal loss function (RNLF). In this paper, we design a new control chart for overcome these disadvantage by using the Spiring's RNLF. And we demonstrate effectiveness of new control chart by comparing its average run length (ARL) with ${\bar{x}}-R$ control chart and expected loss control chart (ELCC).

In this study, we developed a software for statistical process control. This software presents $\bar{x}$, R, CUSUM, EWMA control chart and process capability index. In this system, statistical process control methods are integrated into the automated method on a real time base. It is available in process control of specified type and can be performed on personal computer with network system.

This paper proposes sequential control charts with an upper bound on sample size. Existing sequential control charts have no restriction on the number of observations at a sampling point. For situations where sampling and testing an item is time-consuming or expensive, sequential control charts may not be directly applied. When the number of observations in a sampling point reaches the upper bound and there is no out-of-control signal, the proposed cumulative sequential control chart defers the decision to the next sampling point of which starting value is the value of the current statistic. Two Markov chains, inner and outer chains, are used to derive the formulas for evaluating the performance of the proposed chart. It is compared with $\bar{X}$ and cumulative sum control charts with fixed and variable sample sizes. The fast initial response (FIR) feature is studied. Guidelines for the design of the proposed charts are also given.

In the standard control chart assuming a simple random model, we estimate the process variance without considering the between-sample variance. If the between-sample exists in the process, the process variance is under-estimated. When the process variance is under-estimated, the narrower control limits result in the excessive false alarm rate although the sensitivity of the control chart is improved. In this paper, using the variance component model to incorporate the between-sample variance, we set the control limits using both the within- and between-sample variances, and evaluate the efficiency of the control chart in terms of the average run length (ARL). Considering the most widely used control chart types such as ${\bar{X}}$, EWMA and CUSUM control charts, we compared the differences between two cases, Case I and Case II, where the between-sample variance is ignored and considered, respectively. We also considered the two cases when the process parameters are given and estimated. The results showed that the false alarm rate of Case I increased sharply as the between-sample variance increases, while that of Case II remains the same regardless of the size of the between-sample variance, as expected.
