The Markovchart R package is able to minimise the cost of a process, using Markov-chain based $x$-charts under general assumptions (partial repair, random shift-size, missing samples). In this talk a further generalisation will be presented. Quite often the degradation can take different forms (e.g. if there is a chance for abrupt changes besides the „normal” wear), which might be modelled by...
The IMR (individual-moving average) control chart is a classical proposal in both SQC books and ISO standards for control charting single observations. Simple rules are given for setting the limits. However, it is more or less known that the MR limits are misplaced. There were some early accurate numerical Average Run Length (ARL) results by Crowder in 1987! However, they are not flawless. We...
When a Cusum signals an alarm, often it is not initially clear whether the alarm is true or false. We argue that in principle the observations leading to a signal may provide information on whether or not an alarm is true. The intuition behind this is that the evolution of a false alarm has a well-defined stochastic behavior, so if observations preceding the alarm were to exhibit a behavior...
