Abstract

In the field of statistical process control (SPC), usually two issues are addressed; the variables and the attribute quality characteristics control charting. Focusing on discrete data generated from a process to be monitored, attributes control charts would be useful. The discrete data could be classified into two categories; the independent and auto-correlated data. Regarding the independence in the sequence of discrete data, the typical Shewhart-based control charts, such as p-chart and np-chart would be effective enough to monitor the related process. But considering auto-correlation in the sequence of the data, such control charts would not workanymore. In this paper, considering the auto-correlated sequence of X1, X2,…, Xt,… as the sequence of zeros or ones, we have developed a control chart based on a two-state Markov model. This control chart is compared with the previously developed charts in terms of the average number of observations (ANOS) measure. In addition, a case study related to the diabetic people is investigated to demonstrate the applicability and high performance of the developed chart.
