Abstract:

New ultrasonic technology to measure thickness of bottles is nondestructive and provides the opportunity to obtain measurements at any location. Increasing the number of measurements may increase the sensitivity of control charts to detection of flaws in local regions; however, the correlation between spatially-close measurements may introduce redundancy and inefficiency in the test. This presentation treats the bottle measurements as spatial data and investigates the properties of control charts where the spatial measurements are assembled into a vector and multivariate charts are constructed where the covariance matrix is derived from the semivariogram.
