Phase‐II Monitoring the Ratio of Population Means of a Bivariate Normal Distribution Based on Subgroup Samples

Sep 2026 · Quality and Reliability Engineering International · 0 citations · 64 references

Abstract

In various industrial contexts, there is a need for online monitoring of quality characteristics represented as the ratio of two normal random variables. This includes scenarios such as maintaining the correct proportion between ingredients or elements in a product, assessing product performance before and after specific operations like chemical reactions, and monitoring chemical or physical properties computed as ratios. This paper introduces two new Phase II Shewhart monitoring schemes for monitoring the ratio of population means of bivariate normal distributions when parameters are known and unknown, respectively. Notably, the size of each sample unit can vary across different subgroups, enhancing the adaptability of the chart implementation in diverse manufacturing settings. We use the average run length (ARL) for evaluating the Phase II performance of the proposed monitoring schemes. Simulation results are provided to demonstrate the statistical performance of the investigated monitoring schemes under the known and unknown parameter cases. Two real‐data examples are presented for illustration.

One‐Sided Combined Control Charts for Monitoring a Shifted Exponential Process in the Case of Individual Observations

The shifted (or two‐parameter) exponential distribution is a well‐known flexible probability model for skewed data, such as failure times or survival times due to its two‐parameter representation. Control charts for monitoring a process that is modeled according to a shifted exponential distribution have been studied...

Effect of Measurement Errors on One‐Sided Synthetic‐RZ Control Charts for Monitoring the Ratio of Two Normal Variables

Monitoring the ratio of two normally distributed quality characteristics is important in a range of industrial applications. This study quantifies the effect of measurement error on two one‐sided Synthetic‐RZ charts for detecting downward and upward shifts in that ratio. The proposed framework combines a correlated l...

Robust Attribute Control Chart for Median‐Truncated Life Tests Under the Odd Exponential Half‐Logistic Distribution

In this research, an attribute control chart is developed in order to monitor the product lifetimes having odd exponential half‐logistic distribution (OEHLD) with truncated life tests. The novelty of the suggested scheme is in truncation time that is assumed to be a multiple of the median of lifetime distribution ins...
