This paper is a study on the multivariate CUSUM control charts using three different control statistics for monitoring covariance matrix. We get control limits and ARLs of the proposed multivariate CUSUM control charts using three different control statistics by using computer simulations. The performances of these proposed multivariate CUSUM control charts have been investigated by comparing ARLs. The purpose of control charts is to detect assignable causes of variation so that these causes can be found and eliminated from process, variability will be reduced and the process will be improved. We show that the charts based on three different control statistics are very effective in detecting shifts, especially shifts in covariances when the variables are highly correlated. When variables are highly correlated, our overall recommendation is to use the multivariate CUSUM control charts using trace for detecting changes in covariance matrix.

Several different control statistics to simultaneously monitor dispersion matrix of several quality variables are presented since different control statistics can be used to describe variability. Multivariare cumulative sum (CUSUM) control charts are proposed and the performances of the proposed CUSUM charts are evaluated in terms of average run length (ARL). Multivariate Shewhart charts are also proposed to compare the properties of the proposed CUSUM charts. The numerical results show that multivariate CUSUM charts are more efficient than multivariate Shewhart charts for small or moderate shifts. And we also found that small reference value of the CUSUM chart is more efficient for small shift.

CUSUM control charts are widely used to monitor processes with small shifts. CUSUM control charts are, however, less effective in detecting for recurring cycles or frequent small shifts in the processes. With Shewhart control charts, we have applied the variety of run rules to check the stability of process in addition to the situations that some points fall outside the control limits. In this paper, we propose the Z -CUSUM control chart for monitoring the process with recurring cycles or frequent small shifts by use of the zone concept as like the Shewhart control charts.

We consider the problem of using control charts to monitor more than one parameter with emphasis on simultaneously monitoring the mean and variance. The fixed sampling interval (FSI) control charts are modified to use variable sampling interval (VSI) control charts depending on what is being observed from the data. In general, approaches of monitoring the mean and variance simultaneously is to use separate charts for each parameter and a combined chart. In this paper, we use three basic strategies which are separate Shewhart charts for each parameter, a combined Shewhart chart and a combined CUSUM chart. We showed that a combined VSI CUSUM chart is comparatively more efficient than any other chart if the shifts in both mean and variance are small.

The design method for cumulative sum (CUSUM) control charts, which can be robust to autoregressive moving average (ARMA) modeling errors, has not been frequently proposed so far. This is because the CUSUM statistic involves a maximum function, which is intractable in mathematical derivations, and thus any modification on the statistic can not be favorably made. We propose residual-based robust CUSUM control charts for monitoring autocorrelated processes. In order to incorporate the effects of ARMA modeling errors into the design method, we modify parameters (reference value and decision interval) of CUSUM control charts using the approximate expected variance of residuals generated in model uncertainty, rather than directly modify the form of the CUSUM statistic. The expected variance of residuals is derived using a second-order Taylor approximation and the general form is represented using the order of ARMA models with the sample size for ARMA modeling. Based on the Monte carlo simulation, we demonstrate that the proposed method can be effectively used for statistical process control (SPC) charts, which are robust to ARMA modeling errors.

In this article we establish multivariate cumulative sum (CUSUM) control charts based on residual vector with correlated observations. We first find the residual vector and its expectation and variance-covariance matrix and then evaluate the average run length (ARL) of the control charts.

Multivariate cumulative sum (CUSUM) control charts for simultaneously monitoring both means and variances under multivariate normal process are investigated. Performances of multivariate CUSUM schemes are evaluated for matched fixed sampling interval (FSI) and variable sampling interval (VSI) features in terms of average time to signal (ATS), average number of samples to signal (ANSS). Multivariate Shewhart charts are also considered to compare the properties of multivariate CUSUM charts. Numerical results show that presented CUSUM charts are more efficient than the corresponding Shewhart chart for small or moderate shifts and VSI feature with two sampling intervals is more efficient than FSI feature. When small changes in the production process have occurred, CUSUM chart with small reference values will be recommended in terms of the time to signal.

It is common to use CUSUM charts for detecting small level shifts in processes control, in which reference value(k) and decision interval(h) are the design parameters to be determined. To control process with autocorrelation, CUSUM charts could be applied to residuals obtained from fitting ARIMA models. However, constant level shifts in processes lead to varying mean shifts in residual processes and thus standard CUSUM charts may need to be modified. In this paper, we study the performance of CUSUM charts with various design parameters applied to autocorrelated processes, especially focussing on ARMA(1,1) models, and propose how they can be determined to get better performance in terms of the average run length.

Performance of the group cumulative sum(CUSUM) control scheme using multiple univariate CUSUM charts is more sensitive to the change of quality control(QC) characteristics than the control chart scheme based on the Hotelling statistics. We examine three group charts for multivariate normal data sets simulated with various correlation structures and shift directions in the mean vector. These group schemes apply the orginal measurement vectors, the scaled residual vectors from the regression of each variable on all others and the principal component vectors respectively to calculating the CUSUM statistics. They are also compared to the multivariate QC charts based on the Hotelling statistic by estimating average run lengths, coefficients of variation of run length and ranks in signaling order. On the basis of simulation results, we suggest a control chart scheme appropriate for specific quality control environment.
