Abstract

Control charts play a significant role to monitor the performance of a process. Nonparametric control charts are helpful when the probability model of the process output is not known. In such cases, the sampling mechanism becomes very important for picking a suitable sample for process monitoring. This study proposes a nonparametric arcsine exponentially weighted moving average sign chart by using an efficient scheme, namely, sequential sampling scheme. The proposal intends to enhance the detection ability of the arcsine exponentially weighted moving average sign chart, particularly for the detection of small shifts. The performance of the proposal is assessed, and compared with its counterparts, by using some popular run length properties including average, median and standard deviation run lengths. The proposed chart shows efficient shift detection ability as compared to the other charts, considered in this study. A real-life application based on the smartphone accelerometer data-set, for the implementation of the proposed scheme, is also presented.
