- Abstract
In many service and manufacturing industries, process monitoring involves multivariate data, instead of univariate data. In these situations, multivariate charts are employed for process monitoring. Very often when the mean vector shifts to an out‐of‐control situation, the exact shift size is unknown; hence, multivariate charts for monitoring a range of the mean shift sizes in the mean vector are adopted. In this paper, directionally sensitive weighted adaptive multivariate CUSUM charts are developed for monitoring a range of the mean shift sizes. Directionally sensitive charts are useful in situations where the aim lies in monitoring either an increasing or a decreasing shift in the mean vector of the quality characteristics of interest. The Monte Carlo simulation is used to compute the run length characteristics in comparing the sensitivities of the proposed and existing multivariate CUSUM charts. In general, the directionally sensitive and weighted adaptive features enhance the sensitivities of the proposed multivariate CUSUM charts in comparison with the existing multivariate CUSUM charts without the adaptive feature or those that are directionally invariant. It is also found that the variable sampling interval feature enhances the sensitivities of the proposed and existing charts as compared to their fixed sampling interval counterparts. The implementation of the proposed charts in detecting upward and downward shifts in the in‐control process mean vector is demonstrated using two different datasets.
