Abstract
Nonparametric control charts are more practical tools for statistical process control (SPC), as they are robust in situations in which the underlying distribution is unknown. Comprehensibility and simplicity of exceedance statistics provide great convenience to analysts in multivariate SPC applications. By using the exceedance statistics, analysts save time and avoid complex calculations. Therefore, in this study, a bivariate nonparametric exponentially weighted moving average (BEWMA-EX) control chart is proposed based on the exceedance statistics to detect the shifts in the location parameter. The performance of the proposed BEWMA-EX chart is compared with the multivariate sign EWMA (MSEWMA) control chart under some well-known bivariate distributions, such as bivariate normal, t, and gamma distributions. The BEWMA-EX chart outperforms the MSEWMA control chart in terms of run-length properties. To highlight the importance of the stated study, the BEWMA-EX chart is implemented on industrial engineering datasets related to coal power plant and aluminum electrolytic capacitor manufacturing processes. The findings are promising and support the simulated results.
