Abstract
The monitoring of process variability is an important feature to get optimal output from a process. Control charts are vital tools used for efficient process monitoring. The commonly used types of charts include Shewhart, cumulative sum and exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) control charts. This study focuses on dispersion control charts using some efficient transformation for small and medium instabilities. We intend to propose an assorted method to monitor a range of disturbances in process dispersion, using the well-known max approach. We have used several measures to evaluate the suggested assorted control chart. Based on these measures, we have compared the proposed assorted method with many existing charts. The study proposal outperforms the existing counterparts in detecting various amounts of shifts in process dispersion. Finally, a real-life application of the proposed chart is demonstrated to monitor the flow width measurements in a hard-bake process.
