Time truncated attribute control chart for generalized half-normal distribution and its application

In this article, we propose an attribute control chart for truncated life test under the assumption that the quality characteristic follows the generalized half normal (GHN) distribution. We evaluate the average run length for the proposed control chart. When the average run length is close to the target value, it is termed as a process in control, otherwise, the process is considered to be out of control. Tables for the various values of the shape parameter, the sample size, the specified value of average run length and the process shift constant are presented. Performance of the suggested control chart in the industry is shown by the simulation study and a real-life example is also considered to demonstrate the applicability in the real-life situation. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Society for Reliability and Safety (SRESA).
