A Literature Review on the Fuzzy Control Chart; Classifications & Analysis

Quality control plays an important role in increasing the product quality. Fuzzy control charts are more sensitive than Shewhart control chart. Hence, the correct use of fuzzy control chart leads to producing better-quality products. This area is complex because it involves a large scope of industries, and information is not well organized. In this research, we provide a literature review of the control chart under a fuzzy environment with proposing several classifications and analysis. Moreover, our research considered both attribute and variable control chart by analyzing the related researches based on the content analysis method, to classify past and current developments in the fuzzy control chart. This work has included a distribution of articles according to the journal, the case studies related to fuzzy control chart, the percentage of types of fuzzy control charts used in the literature, performance evaluation of the fuzzy control chart and summary of key points of each review paper. Finally, this paper discusses some future research direction and our overviews. The results of this study can help researchers become familiar with well-known journals, fuzzy control charts used in sample case studies, and to extract key points of each paper in minimum time.
