Abstract

When a process experiences an out-of-control condition, identification of the change point is capable of leading practitioners to an effective root cause analysis. The change point addresses the time when a special cause(s) manifests itself into the process. In the statistical process monitoring when the chart signals an out-of-control condition, the change point analysis is an important step for the root cause analysis of the process. This paper attempts to propose a model approaching the artificial neural network to identify the change point of a multistage process with cascade property in the case that the process is modeled properly by a simple linear profile.Design/methodology/approachIn practice, many processes can be modeled by a functional relationship rather than a single random variable or a random vector. This approach of modeling is referred to as the profile in the statistical process control literature. In this paper, two models based on multilayer perceptron (MLP) and convolutional neural network (CNN) approaches are proposed for identifying the change point of the profile of a multistage process.FindingsThe capability of the proposed models are evaluated and compared using several numerical scenarios. The numerical analysis of the proposed neural networks indicates that the two proposed models are capable of identifying the change point in different scenarios effectively. The comparative sensitivity analysis shows that the capability of the proposed convolutional network is superior compared to MLP network.Originality/valueTo the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first time that: (1) A model is proposed to identify the change point of the profile of a multistage process. (2) A convolutional neural network is modeled for identifying the change point of an out-of-control condition.
