Abstract
Abstract This article develops Time Between Events (TBE) control charts to monitor processes with multiple dependent production lines. To this end, a Shewhart-type and an EWMA-type TBE chart have been proposed. The copula approach is used to describe the dependence between production lines and the homogeneous Poisson process is considered to model the number of defectives. Performance of the proposed methods is evaluated using average time to signal metric. The numerical study showed that the EWMA-TBE chart uniformly performs better than the Shewhart-type chart. Eventually, the EWMA-TBE chart is applied to monitor two real-world processes with two and four production lines.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
