In this paper we develop computational algorithms to calculate M-estimators of regression parameters from right-censored data that are naturally collected in quality control. In the case of M-estimators, a new statistical method is also introduced to incorporate concomitant scale estimation in the presence of right censoring on the observed responses. Furthermore, we illustrate this by simulations.
