- Title
Attribute Charts for Monitoring the Mean Vector of Bivariate Processes.
- Authors

- Abstract
This article proposes two Shewhart charts, denoted npxy and npw charts, which use attribute inspection to control the mean vector (μx; μy)′ of bivariate processes. The units of the sample are classified as first-class, second-class, or third-class units, according to discriminate limits and the values of their two quality characteristics, X and Y. When the npxy chart is in use, the monitoring statistic is M = N1 N2, where N1 and N2 are the number of sample units with a second-class and third-class classification, respectively. When the npw chart is in use, the monitoring statistic is W = N1 2 N2. We assume that the quality characteristics X and Y follow a bivariate normal distribution and that the assignable cause shifts the mean vector without changing the covariance matrix. In general, the synthetic npxy and npw charts require twice larger samples to outperform the T2 chart. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
