Popis: | For several decades, the fuzzy theory has been used to develop the so-called fuzzy control charts to analyze process data in a more reliable and flexible way than traditional control charts. Control charts are more commonly used in the papermaking processes to check the stability of the data source. These charts are conceived as devices that enhance routine time-by-time adjustments during the production process, so their value is incomparable. A critical variable that must be controlled during the papermaking process is the moisture content of the paper. However, due to the paper’s hygroscopic characteristics, its moisture content values may carry some uncertainty derived from measurement systems and the nature of the papermaking process. Therefore, an alternative approach that includes fuzz control charts to handle these uncertainties is proposed in this paper. The method to convert individual data to fuzzy numbers is based on the sigma level process as a first stage, and then, the fuzzy individual and moving range control charts are introduced using the α − cut fuzzy midrange approach. Data from the moisture content of a 240 g coated paper sample is used to prove the performance of the fuzzy individual control charts. According to the proposed methodology, findings show that fuzzy individual and moving range control charts have greater flexibility than traditional individual control charts by reflecting a larger amplitude of their control limits, in addition to a lower number of “out of control” values. |
