Abstract
AbstractMemory‐type auxiliary‐information‐based (AIB) control charts are very effective in detecting small‐to‐moderate shifts in the process mean. In this study, we first develop a unique uniformly minimum variance unbiased estimator of the process mean that requires information on the study variable as well as on several correlated auxiliary variables. Then, based on this estimator, adaptive and nonadaptive CUSUM and EWMA charts are developed with either fixed or variable sampling interval for monitoring the process mean, namely, the multiple AIB (MAIB) charts. The proposed charts encompass existing charts with or without the auxiliary information. The run length characteristics of the proposed charts are computed with the Monte Carlo simulations when sampling from a multivariate normal distribution. Based on the run length comparisons, it is found that the MAIB charts are uniformly and substantially more sensitive than the AIB charts when monitoring the process mean. Real datasets are also considered to explain the implementation of the MAIB charts.
