Abstract

Control charts are an important element for monitoring production processes in a wide array of industries. A strong performing control chart is one that responds quickly to undesirable changes in a production process. This work demonstrates the expansion of Multivariate Exponentially Weighted Moving Average and Covariance (MEWMAC) control chart to be doubly weighted in efforts to improve performance by reducing out of control run lengths (ARL1) when changes occur in either the process mean vector or covariance matrix. Metric derivation and justification are provided. Simulations under different scenarios provide comparison of the new control chart mechanism to those already established in the literature. Conclusions and recommendations for future research are discussed.
