Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the misleading effect of measurement errors on simultaneous monitoring of the multivariate process mean and variability. For this purpose, we incorporate the measurement errors into a hybrid method based on the generalized likelihood ratio (GLR) and exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) control charts. After that, we propose four remedial methods to decrease the effects of measurement errors on the performance of the monitoring procedure. The performance of the monitoring procedure as well as the proposed remedial methods is investigated through extensive simulation studies and a real data example.
