Enhanced exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) control chart performance with autocorrelation

This research introduces an enhanced exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) control chart which is effective in detecting small and unnoticed shifts in monitoring process mean for autocorrelated data. The control chart is based on extension or modification of EWMA control chart statistic. The...
