Abstract
In this era of Industry 4.0, efficient and affordable monitoring solutions are needed for the surveillance of manufacturing/service operations. In general, memory-type control charts outperform memoryless control charts when it comes to determining the changes in location and dispersion parameters of symmetrically distributed processes. Before monitoring the process location, it is essential to monitor the process dispersion, since the latter presumes that the process variance remains stable. In practice, the modified successive sampling (MSS) mechanism is preferred over simple random sampling for its cost-effectiveness and efficiency. This study was designed in order to propose moving average and double moving average control charts based on the MSS mechanism for monitoring the dispersion parameter. The performance of the proposed charts is evaluated using run-length measures, and a comparison is made with an existing control chart based on MSS and repetitive sampling. Furthermore, the application of the designed moving and double moving average charts is demonstrated using a case study related to fertilizer production. It is observed that the proposed double moving average control chart performs better than the other control charts designed under the MSS and repetitive sampling schemes.
