Abstract

In industrial production, the exponentially weighted moving average scheme is widely used to monitor shifts in product quality, especially small-to-moderate shifts. In this paper, we propose a modified one-sided EWMA scheme for Type I right-censored Weibull lifetime data for detecting shifts in the scale parameter with the shape parameter fixed. A comparative analysis with existing cumulative sum and exponentially weighted moving average results from the literature is provided. The zero-state and steady-state behaviour of the new scheme are considered with regard to the average run length, the standard deviation of the run length, and other performance measures. Our simulation shows stronger power in detecting changes in the censored lifetime data using the modified scheme than that using the traditional exponentially weighted moving average scheme, and the new scheme is superior to the cumulative sum scheme in most situations. A real-data example further demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed method.
