【Abstract】

Traditional cumulative sum (CUSUM) control charts are often designed to optimize the detection performance for a prescribed magnitude of mean shift when monitoring the mean level of a process. However, the shift to occur in the future is often unknown. The performance of the chart designed as such could be suboptimal when the actual shift magnitude is different from the pre-specified one. This paper considers efficient design of CUSUM charts for monitoring shifts in the process mean with uncertainty. A fast and accurate algorithm based on the gradient method is developed for this purpose. Optimal design parameters were obtained and compared with the existing simulation results. The gradient method is shown to provide more accurate and faster design of CUSUM charts under uncertainty than using Monte Carlo simulations.
