Abstract

This research aimed to modify the traditional multivariate control charts by using the multivariate spatial signed rank under the normal distribution, the t distribution, and the gamma distribution. The performance of the modern multivariate control charts is measured based on the average run length (ARL). The ARL is computed using a Monte Carlo simulation. The Monte Carlo approach is applied to simulate the circumstances via MATLAB software. The spatial signed-rank multivariate exponentially weighted moving average (SSRM) control chart is found to be the most appropriate approach to detect the small mean shifts  gif.latex?(\delta&space;\leq&space;0.5)  and the large smoothing parameters  gif.latex?(\lambda&space;\geq&space;0.35) of all three distributions. Besides, SSRM is a robust tool for detecting waste and is suitable for most industrial processes.
