Christian Capezza, Fabio Centofanti, Davide Forcina, Antonio Lepore,, Biagio Palumbo

TL;DR
This paper introduces the functional mixture regression control chart (FMRCC) for monitoring complex industrial processes with multiple in-control patterns, effectively capturing heterogeneity using a mixture of functional linear models and a likelihood ratio test.
Contribution
The paper proposes a novel FMRCC method that models multiple in-control states with a mixture of FLMs and uses a likelihood ratio test for process monitoring.
Findings
FMRCC outperforms existing schemes in simulations
Effective detection of multiple in-control patterns
Practical applicability demonstrated in automotive RSW process
Abstract
Industrial applications often exhibit multiple in-control patterns due to varying operating conditions, which makes a single functional linear model (FLM) inadequate to capture the complexity of the true relationship between a functional quality characteristic and covariates, which gives rise to the multimode profile monitoring problem. This issue is clearly illustrated in the resistance spot welding (RSW) process in the automotive industry, where different operating conditions lead to multiple in-control states. In these states, factors such as electrode tip wear and dressing may influence the functional quality characteristic differently, resulting in distinct FLMs across subpopulations. To address this problem, this article introduces the functional mixture regression control chart (FMRCC) to monitor functional quality characteristics with multiple in-control patterns and covariate…
