Minority Research Initiation Planning Grant in Statistical Quality Control

这位研究人员建议研究他在统计质量控制领域正在进行的研究的工业适用性。他计划将休哈特综合积分表作为一种可行的过程控制工具来使用。他争辩说，他的程序很容易理解，而且这些程序的性质比积分型方案更容易评估。他已经证明，理论上，与标准休哈特方案和改进休哈特方案相比，合并休哈特累积质量控制程序对过程平均值和/或可变性的变化更敏感。它也被证明可以与标准的累积型图表相媲美。PI建议实施他的程序，并使用实际数据将其性能与休哈特和累积类型的图表进行比较。他打算确定可以实施这些程序的当地公司和学术机构。

The investigator proposes to study the industrial applicability of his ongoing research in the area of statistical quality control. He plans to put a case for the usage of combined Shewhart cumulative score charts as a viable process control tool. He argues that his procedures are easy to understand and that properties of these procedures are easier evaluated than the cusum type schemes. He has shown that the combined Shewhart cumulative quality control procedure, in theory, is more sensitive to shifts in the process mean and/or variability than both the standard Shewhart and the improved Shewhart schemes. It has also been shown to compare favorably with the standard cusum type charts. The PI proposes to implement his procedures and compare their performance against the Shewhart and cusum type charts using real data. He intends to identify local companies and academic institutions where these procedures can be implemented.
