Efficient process control is crucial to maintain and improve quality and productivity. This book studies two complementary statistical approaches, process monitoring and process adjustment, to achieve such control from the statisticians' viewpoint. The former means the use of Shewhart charts, EWMA (exponentially weighted moving average) charts, and Cusum charts in statistical quality control or statistical process control (SPC), and the latter means feedback control in engineering process control (EPC). This book consists of 12 chapters, which can be divided into four parts: models in Chapters 4, 5 and 11; process monitoring in Chapters 2, 3 and 10; process adjustment in Chapters 6, 7, 8 and 9; and simultaneous process monitoring and adjustment in Chapter 11. The objective of this book is addressed in Chapter 1 with some fundamental concept for building models. Following this, Chapters 2 and 3 discuss the use of several control charts such as Shewhart and other control charts for monitoring the stability of processes, where the common cause plus special cause model is assumed. In Chapter 4, the concepts of simple dynamic models to approximately represent the inertia of a process to change are introduced and the usefulness of exponentially weighted moving averages (EWMAs) to forecast future values is shown. Chapter 5 provides a brief discussion on time series models for process disturbances; the integrated moving average (IMA) model and its relations to EWMA are discussed. Chapter 6 discusses a form of feedback control, which is a discrete analog of proportional control in EPC. Proportional integral control is discussed in Chapter 7 for the control of processes containing inertia. Linking up the subject with a number of familiar SPC ideas, manual adjustment with a suitable chart is mainly discussed in this book. In Chapter 8, the problem of feedback control, where a cost is incurred each time an adjustment is made, is discussed, and a bounded adjustment chart is introduced to call for the adjustment. Moreover, the problem of how often one has to observe the process is discussed by introducing the cost of surveillance in Chapter 9. Chapter 10 returns to the discussion of process monitoring, and considers an efficient means to find a specific kind of signal buried in appropriately modeled noise using the concept of score statistics due to Fisher and devising a Cuscore chart. In Chapter 11, efficient monitoring of an operating feedback process is presented, bringing together the results from earlier chapters. Finally, a brief review on times series modeling is presented for reference in Chapter 12. Some results in feedback adjustment, such as robustness of PI adjustment, are well-known in the world of EPC, and multivariable cases, which are common in practice, are completely missed. However, the idea of adjustment using appropriate charts looks new to process control statisticians and process control engineers as well, and the book is written clearly with a lot of graphical explanation supplemented by numerous examples. Hence it is recommendable to read for quality control engineers and graduate students in quality control and industrial engineers to understand new concepts in SPC.
