An Improved Control Chart for Monitoring Linear Profiles and its Application in Thermal Conductivity

In most of the manufacturing processes, we encounter different quality characteristics of a product and process. These characteristics can be categorized into two kinds; study variables (variable of interest) and the supporting/explanatory variables. Sometime, a linear relationship might exist between the study and supporting variable, which is called simple linear profiles. This study focuses on the simple linear profiles under assorted control charting approach to detect the large, moderate and small disturbances in the process parameters. The evaluation of the proposed assorted method is assessed by using numerous performance measures, for instance, average run length, relative average run length, extra and sequential extra quadratic losses. A comparative analysis of the proposal is also carried out with some existing linear profile methods including Shewhart_3, Hotelling's T2, EWMA_3, EWMA/R and CUSUM_3 charts. Finally, a real-life application of the proposed assorted chart is presented to monitor thermal management of diamond-copper composite.
