Control charts for monitoring the mean and percentiles of Weibull processes with variance components

초록

In this article, we study Shewhart and exponentially weighted moving average control charts for monitoring the mean or, equivalently, the percentiles of a Weibull process when additional sources of variation, also known as variance components, are present. We adopt a frailty model to describe the monitored process. We derive analytical properties for this model and use them to develop control charts. We consider charts for the sample mean and exponentially weighted moving averages. We compare their average run length performances to their traditional counterparts when they do not account for variance components.
