Multivariate Shewhart control charts are considered for the simultaneous monitoring the variance-covariance matrix when the joint distribution of process variables is multivariate normal. The performances of the multivariate Shewhart control charts based on control statistic proposed by Hotelling (1947) are evaluated in term of average run length (ARL) for 2 or 4 correlated variables, 2 or 4 samples at each sampling point. The performance is investigated in three cases, that is, the variances, covariances, and variances and covariances are changed respectively.

Most classical control charts assume that processes are serially independent, and autocorrelation among variables makes them unreliable. To address this issue, a variety of statistical approaches has been employed to estimate the serial structure of the process. In this paper, we propose a multioutput least squares support vector regression and apply it to construct a residual multivariate cumulative sum control chart for detecting changes in the process mean vector. Numerical studies demonstrate that the proposed multioutput least squares support vector regression based control chart provides more satisfying results in detecting small shifts in the process mean vector.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to propose a multivariate CUSUM control chart that can detect the out-of-control state fast while monitoring the cross- and auto- correlated multivariate time series data. Methods: We first build models to estimate the observation data and calculate the corresponding residuals. After then, a multivariate CUSUM chart is applied to monitor the residuals instead of the original raw observation data. Vector Autoregression and Artificial Neural Net are selected for the modelling, and Separated-MCUSUM chart is selected for the monitoring. The suggested methods are tested under a number of experimental settings and the performances are compared with those of other existing methods. Results: We find that Artificial Neural Net is more appropriate than Vector Autoregression for the modelling and show the combination of Separated-MCUSUM with Artificial Neural Net outperforms the other alternatives considered in this paper. Conclusion: The suggested chart has many advantages. It can monitor the complicated multivariate data with cross- and auto- correlation, and detects the out-of-control state fast. Unlike other CUSUM charts finding their control limits by trial and error simulation, the suggested chart saves lots of time and effort by approximating its control limit mathematically. We expect that the suggested chart performs not only effectively but also efficiently for monitoring the process with complicated correlations and frequently-changed parameters.

Modern production process is a very complex structure combined observations which are correlated with several factors. When the error signal occurs in the process, it is very difficult to know the root causes of an out-of-control signal because of insufficient information. However, if we know the time of the change, the system can be controlled more easily. To know it, we derive a maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) of the change point in a process when observations are from a multivariate IMA(1,1) process by monitoring residual vectors of the model. In this paper, numerical results show that the MLE of change point is effective in detecting changes in a process.

In this paper, we proposed multivariate EWMA control charts for both combine-accumulate and accumulate-combine approaches to monitor dispersion matrix of multiple quality variables. Numerical performance of the proposed charts are evaluated in terms of average run length(ARL). The performances show that small smoothing constants with accumulate-combine approach is preferred for detecting small shifts of the production process.

Multivariate control chart based on Hotelling's $T^2$ statistic is a powerful tool in statistical process control for identifying an out-of-control process. It is used to monitor multiple process characteristics simultaneously. Detection of the out-of-control signal with the $T^2$ chart indicates mean vector shifts. However, these multivariate signals make it difficult to interpret the cause of the out-of-control signal. In this paper, we review methods of signal interpretation based on the Mason, Young, and Tracy (MYT) decomposition of the $T^2$ statistic. We also provide an example on how to implement it using R software and demonstrate simulation studies for comparing the performance of these methods.

Because of the equivalence between control chart procedures and hypothesis testing, we propose to use likelihood ratio test (LRT) statistic $Z_i^2$ as the multivariate control statistic for simultaneous monitoring means of the multivariate normal process. Properties and comparisons of the proposed control charts are explored and conducted for matched fixed sampling interval (FSI) and variable sampling interval (VSI) with two sampling interval charts. The result of numerical comparisons shows that EWMA chart with two sampling interval procedure is more efficient than the corresponding FSI chart for small or moderate changes. When large shift of the process has occurred, we also found that Shewhart chart is more efficient than EWMA chart.

Several sample statistics to simultaneously monitor both means and variances for multivariate quality characteristics under multivariate normal process are proposed. Performances of multivariate Shewhart schemes and cumulative sum(CUSUM) schemes are evaluated for matched fixed sampling interval(FSI) and variable sampling interval(VSI) feature. Numerical results show that multivariate CUSUM charts are more efficient than Shewhart charts for small or moderate shifts and VSI feature is more efficient than FSI feature.

Many process variables in modem manufacturing processes have influence on quality of products with complicated relationships. Therefore, it is necessary to control multiple quality variables in order to monitor abnormal signals in the processes. This study proposes an integrated procedure of self-organizing map (SOM) neural network and case-based reasoning (CBR) for multivariate process control. SOM generates patterns of quality variables. The patterns are compared with the reference patterns in order to decide whether their states are normal or abnormal using the goodness-of-fitness test. For validation, it generates artificial datasets consisting of six patterns, normal and abnormal patterns. Experimental results show that the abnormal patterns can be detected effectively. This study also shows that the CBR procedure enables to keep Type 2 error at very low level and reduce Type 1 error gradually, and then the proposed method can be a solution fur multivariate process control.
