One of the major obstacles contributing to the cost, time and efficiency of improving the quality output of manufacturing systems is the propagation of defectives or errors through the system. Conventional individual control chart design does not address the problem of the interrelation of the...

Control charts and process capability calculations remain fundamental techniques for statistical process control. However, it has long been realized that the accuracy of these calculations can be significantly affected when sampling from a non‐Gaussian population. Many quality practitioners...
