Multivariate Exponentially Weighted Moving Average (MEWMA) Control Chart

The multivariate exponentially weighted moving average (MEWMA) control chart is used to simultaneously monitor several correlated process variables. The primary focus of this article is monitoring the process mean by constructing an MEWMA control chart. An overview of the application and use of MEWMA control charts is discussed. The plotting statistic is clearly defined and an illustrative example is presented. Keywords: EWMA ; multivariate; control charts; MEWMA
