Abstract

Statistical process Control is a tool used to improve the quality of a product by achieving process capability. Control Charts are used to confirm whether the process is statistically control. In general process performance is measured through the four basic process capability indices Cp, Cpk, Cpm and Cpmk. To calculate the basic capability indices, it is assumed that the quality characteristics follow normal distribution. In practice most of the key quality characteristics fails normality. MAD based capability index is an alternative for heavily skewed data. In this paper, a robust X ? chart for a specified capability index is proposed. The proposed control chart and basic Shewhart control chart are compared using a simulated process data from normal distribution.
