Abstract

The moving average (MA) chart, the exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) chart and the cumulative sum (CUSUM) chart are the most popular schemes for detecting shifts in a relevant process parameter. Any control chart system of span k is specified by a partition of the space ℝ k into three disjoint parts. We call this partition as the control chart frame of span k . A shift in the process parameter is signalled at time t by having the vector of the last k sample characteristics fall out of the central part of this frame. The optimal frame of span k is selected in order to maximize the average run length (ARL) if shift in the relevant process parameter is on an acceptable level and to minimize it on a rejectable level. We have proved in this article that the set of all frames of span k with an appropriate metric is a compact space and that the ARL for continuously distributed sample characteristics is continuous as a function of the frame. Consequently, there exists the optimal frame among systems of span k . General attitude to control chart systems is the common platform for universal control charts with the particular point for each sample and variable control limits plotted one step ahead.

AB - The moving average (MA) chart, the exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) chart and the cumulative sum (CUSUM) chart are the most popular schemes for detecting shifts in a relevant process parameter. Any control chart system of span $k$ is specified by a partition of the space ${\mathbb {R}} ^k$ into three disjoint parts. We call this partition as the control chart frame of span $k.$ A shift in the process parameter is signalled at time $t$ by having the vector of the last $k$ sample characteristics fall out of the central part of this frame. The optimal frame of span $k$ is selected in order to maximize the average run length (ARL) if shift in the relevant process parameter is on an acceptable level and to minimize it on a rejectable level. We have proved in this article that the set of all frames of span $k$ with an appropriate metric is a compact space and that the ARL for continuously distributed sample characteristics is continuous as a function of the frame. Consequently, there exists the optimal frame among systems of span $k.$ General attitude to control chart systems is the common platform for universal control charts with the particular point for each sample and variable control limits plotted one step ahead.
