Controlling multiple stream processes with principal components

A model for the measurements from a multiple stream process is analysed as a special case of a multivariate control chart by principal components analysis. The principal components meet the objective of partitioning the control problem into statistics that are sensitive to two types of assignable causes. Simple test statistics result and performance analyses are provided.
