On moving average based location charts under modified successive sampling

Ceramics are made up of water, clay, and powders. These are categorized as non-metallic and inorganic materials. It is revealed in the literature that Longquan celadon glaze had irregular cracks in glaze layers due to the relatively high content of N a 2 O . Therefore, it is necessary to monitor the influence of N a 2 O in the ceramic process. Control charts are a possible tool to monitor the changes in the ceramic process. For single event issues, simple random sampling strategy is utilized; however, modified successive sampling is preferred as the favored sampling strategy at regular intervals of time when the quality of any product is evaluated. Hence, this paper is designed to propose moving average M A M S S ( S ) and double moving average D M A M S S ( S ) based control charts to detect small to moderate location shifts using the modified successive sampling technique. We have highlighted the performance evaluations of designed control charts with respect to run-length metrics, and their comparison has been made with the existing S h e w h a r t M S S ( S ) control chart. The results revealed that the D M A M S S ( S ) performs more efficiently as compared to the S h e w h a r t M S S ( S ) and M A M S S ( S ) control charts. Further, to demonstrate the application of the designed charts, a dataset of the chemical composition of the ceramic is also utilized.
