Abstract

Quality control charts are graphical tools for monitoring quality characteristics of manufacturing or service systems. Control charts have been applied in many manufacturing systems such as long-run production and short-run production since 1931. It is worth noting that less research is done in applying control charts in batch production and job-shop manufacturing. In this thesis, numerical simulation is used to find appropriate control charts in batch production. For quality improvement in such or similar processes, different control charts for batch production, e.g. x ̅ chart, x ̅ chart with Western Electric Rules, Q chart, EWMA Q chart, T chart, EWMA T chart, and Schewhart sign chart are simulated and assessed. The main task of this thesis is to study control charts capabilities to detect mean shifts of the considered processes.
