Abstract

A statistical process control approach is used to monitor and improve the quality of maintenance activities in a manufacturing environment. The methodology employs statistical process control charts to evaluate the maintenance process variability and confidence intervals to evaluate conformance to a given standard for processes under statistical control. This approach is compared to the product control methods of acceptance sampling via analytical operating characteristic curves. The proposed methodology is shown to be sensitive in detecting process faults and capable of reducing inspection effort.
