Abstract EN
This paper proposes a distribution-free (or nonparametric) control scheme to monitor a process output that contains two special causes of variation called “block or batch” effects and “treatment or position” effects.
The scheme properties (control limits, false alarm rate, and in-control average run length) stay the same under any assumed continuous probability distribution.
For moderate sample sizes, these properties can be computed exactly from available tables without the need to estimate the mean or variance of the process.
The proposed monitoring scheme requires ranking the observations within blocks and using the method of analysis of means by ranks.
The paper includes an illustrative example concerning the grinding process of silicon wafers used in integrated circuits production.
