Control chart for monitoring reliability data - An overview and some comments
Abstract
Control chart is not only used in manufacturing process for monitoring quality characteristics of the output it is extensively used in the field of reliability. It can be used to monitor the number of failures or breakdown of a machine, time between failure, life time data (censored or un censored). A number of researchers invested their time and thought in developing control chart techniques applicable in the field of reliability in the past few decades. In this paper we have summarized different methodologies available in the literature for controlling reliability data and discussed their merits and demerits.
