- Abstract
Maxwell distribution has several applications in modeling physical and chemical processes, as well as in reliability and lifetime data analysis. In this paper, we propose the one‐ and two‐sided SPRT control charts for monitoring the scale parameter of a Maxwell distributed process. Using a Markov chain approach, we obtain the measures of statistical performance for the one‐sided charts. Reasonably accurate relationships between the performance measures of a two‐sided SPRT chart and that of its corresponding one‐sided charts are derived through Monte‐Carlo simulations. Approaches for designing the one‐ and two‐sided SPRT charts having the specified in‐control and the optimal out‐of‐control performances are provided. The results of the numerical study reveal that the proposed charts significantly outperform the Shewhart and cumulative sum (CUSUM) charts for detecting a shift of any size in the scale parameter. The mechanisms of the one‐ and two‐sided SPRT charts are illustrated via two real‐data examples: the first in the monitoring of the urinary glycosaminoglycan concentration and the second in the monitoring of the bearing life.
