Fault Detection and Control Systems

A self-starting control chart based on recursive residuals is proposed for monitoring linear profiles when the nominal values of the process parameters are unknown. This chart can detect a shift in the intercept, the slope, or the standard deviation. Because of the good properties of the plot statistics, the proposed chart can be easily designed to match any desired in-control average run length. Simulated results show that our approach has good charting performance across a range of possible shifts when the process parameters are unknown and that it is particularly useful during the start-up stage of a process.
