Abstract

AbstractIn real life applications, many process‐monitoring problems in statistical process control are based on attribute data resulting from quality characteristics that cannot be measured on numerical or quantitative scales. For the monitoring of such data, a new attribute control chart has been proposed in this study, namely, the Poisson progressive Mean (PPM) control chart. The performance of the PPM chart is compared with the existing charts used for the monitoring of Poisson processes such as the Shewhart c‐chart, Poisson Exponentially Weighted Moving Average chart, Poisson double Exponentially Weighted Moving Average chart and the Poisson Cumulative Sum charts. The average run length comparison indicated the superior performance of the PPM chart in terms of shift detection ability. This study will help quality practitioners to choose an efficient attribute control chart.
