Abstract:
In the present article, a double generally weighted moving average (DGWMA) control chart based on a three-parameter logarithmic transformation is proposed for monitoring the process variability, namely the -DGWMA chart. Monte-Carlo simulations are utilized in order to evaluate the run-length performance of the -DGWMA chart. In addition, a detailed comparative study is conducted to compare the performance of the -DGWMA chart with several well-known memory-type control charts in the literature. The comparisons indicate that the proposed one is more efficient in detecting small shifts, while it is more sensitive in identifying upward shifts in the process variability. A real data example is given to present the implementation of the new -DGWMA chart.

The X̄ Chart
The x̄ chart, often known as the individual control chart, is a crucial tool in statistical process control. It is designed to monitor process behavior and performance over time and is widely used in various industries to ensure that processes are operating at their optimum capacity and within specified limits.
A x̄ chart is constructed by plotting individual measurements of a quality...
Interpreting X̄ Charts
An x̄ chart plots the values of individual measurements over time against control limits calculated from historical data. The central line...
The R Chart
R charts are pivotal for pinpointing shifts in process variability. Stability is indicated when all data points remain within the defined upper and lower...
Interpreting R Charts
An R chart plots the range of subsets of measurements collected from a process. Each point on the chart represents the range—defined as the difference between the maximum and minimum...
