A resilient S2 monitoring chart with novel outlier detectors

While researchers and practitioners are seamlessly trying to develop methods for minimizing the effect of outliers in control charts, detecting and screening these outliers continue to pose serious challenges. Keeping in view, the researchers rely on robust estimators to modify the detection limits structure so that the chart can be more sensitive against outliers. In this study, we propose a robust control chart based on , , , , and estimators, whilst the process parameter is estimated from Phase‐I. Through intensive Monte‐Carlo simulations, the study presents how the estimation of parameter(s) and presence of outliers affect the efficacy of the chart, and then how the proposed outlier detectors bring the chart back to normalcy by restoring its efficacy and sensitivity. Average properties are used as the performance measures. The properties establish the superiority of the proposed scheme over and Tukey's outlier detectors. The applicability of the study includes the effectiveness of the proposed detectors in industrial data set but is not limited to manufacturing industries.
