Application of Statistical Process Control to Continuous Processes
2002
Control charts represent an efficient and easy tool to assure the state of statistical quality control in a manufacturing process. These tools are also implemented in continuous processes, where the critical parameters are often monitored by on line sensors measuring data with short time intervals. In this paper a continuous process is monitored by using control charts and its dynamic is modeled through linear time series that allow the effects of the autocorrelation to be eliminated. In this way, the control charts can operate on residuals that result identically and independently distributed. A statistical analysis on EWMA, CUSUM and control charts for individual measurements has been car…
Project monitoring by dynamic statistical control charts
2020
Project monitoring activities are fundamental to assure a timely identification of unacceptable project's deviations from the baseline, so that corrective actions may be taken to bring the project back in line with its objectives. Regarding this, the most used approach is the Earned Value Management (EVM) technique. However, traditional EVM metrics do not allow the Project Manager (PM) to recognize if project deviations are due to the natural project variability or to systemic and undiscovered causes that are moving the project to unacceptable out-of-controls. With this recognition, a statistical project control system based on the use of dynamic Shewhart's and CUmulative SUM (CUSUM) contro…
