Abstract
Control charts are widely used in
manufacturing industries to ensure that production levels are stable and
satisfactory. Recently, the omnibus sequential probability ratio test (OSPRT)
control chart was developed for the purpose of monitoring the mean and variability
of a process simultaneously. As the OSPRT chart was proposed for the first time
in literature, its development relied entirely on the assumption that data
follow the Normal distribution. Nonetheless, researchers are frequently
reminded that the quality characteristics of manufacturing processes do not
necessarily follow the Normal distribution, e.g., strengths of glass fibres,
and lifetimes of products. In this paper, we investigate the extent to which
the performances of the OSPRT chart designed for the Normal model deteriorate,
in situations where the data distributions are Gamma and Lognormal. Results
show that the in-control average run length (ARL) and standard deviation of the
run length of the OSPRT chart designed for the Normal distribution deteriorate
rapidly as skewness increases. To address this issue, we propose a robust
design for the OSPRT chart by adjusting its control limits, known as the
skewness correction method. It is shown that the skewness-corrected OSPRT chart
enjoys a guaranteed in-control ARL, with a justifiable degradation in its
out-of-control performances. Besides, we also show some insights into selecting
the charting parameters for the skewness-corrected OSPRT chart in order to
achieve an optimum out-of-control ARL performance over various shift sizes. The
paper wraps up with an illustrative example of the skewness-corrected OSPRT
chart for monitoring the weights of radial tyres.
Keywords: Average run length; joint

Abstrak
Carta kawalan telah digunakan secara meluas dalam sektor pembuatan untuk memastikan bahawa tahap pengeluaran adalah stabil dan memuaskan. Baru-baru ini, carta kawalan berdasarkan ujian nisbah kebarangkalian berjujukan (OSPRT) telah direka untuk tujuan memantau min dan variabiliti sesuatu proses industri secara serentak. Oleh sebab carta OSPRT baharu diusulkan, rekaannya bergantung sepenuhnya pada andaian bahawa data mengikuti taburan Normal. Walau bagaimanapun, para penyelidik sering diingatkan bahawa ciri mutu dalam proses pembuatan tidak semestinya mengikuti taburan Normal, seperti kekuatan serat kaca dan hayat produk. Dalam makalah ini, kami mengkaji sejauh mana prestasi carta OSPRT yang direka untuk taburan Normal merosot, dalam situasi yang mana taburan data adalah Gamma dan Lognormal. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahawa purata panjang larian (ARL) dan sisihan piawai panjang larian carta OSPRT bagi kes terkawal merosot dengan laju apabila darjah pencongan meningkat. Untuk menyelesaikan masalah ini, kami membina reka bentuk yang teguh untuk carta
OSPRT dengan mengubahsuaikan had kawalan, dikenali sebagai kaedah pembetulan pencongan. Carta OSPRT berdasarkan pembetulan pencongan didapati menghasilkan ARL terkawal yang terjamin, dan prestasinya dalam kes tidak terkawal juga kurang dijejaskan. Selain itu, kami memberikan beberapa garis panduan untuk memilih parameter carta OSPRT yang sesuai bagi mencapai prestasi ARL tidak terkawal yang optimum untuk pelbagai magnitud anjakan. Makalah ini diakhiri dengan contoh aplikasi carta OSPRT berdasarkan pembetulan pencongan untuk memantau berat tayar radial.
