Abstract
Chemical processes as well as many non-industrial processes exhibit autocorrelation, for which the above-mentioned control procedures are not suitable. This paper considers the problem of monitoring a process in which the observations can be represented as a first-order autoregressive model following a heavy tailed distribution. It also presents practical usage of time series control charts on the chemical process of monitoring concentrations. The second part discusses the effect of autocorrelation on the process capability analysis when the observations are made by an autoregressive model of the first order. The process capability indices provide a measure of how a process fits within the specification limits. When calculating indices, it is usual to assume that the process data are independent. The simulation study in this part discusses the effect of a higher autocorrelation order on process capability indices.
