Abstract:

The ability to detect a signal on a process behavior chart is important for any production process. This ability is affected by the random noise in the process and the measurement system error as well as the types of tests and subgroup sampling method used in the chart. We have developed a new technique that calculates the probability of detecting a shift in the production process that is customizable to production process variability, measurement error, various warning tests, and the number and size of subgroups. We will explain our technique for calculating the shift detection probabilities and show the results of a computer simulation experiment aimed at optimizing the ability to predict process shifts that uses this technique.
