Abstract
There has been extensive research on the procedures for monitoring autocorrelated processes. Among them, the most commonly used approach is to forecast the next observation based on a fitted model, calculate residuals, and apply control charting procedures to the residual data. In this paper, we propose a process monitoring procedure based on a recurrent neural network (RNN) to classify whether the process is in control or out of control. The performance of this procedure is compared with the forecasting procedure based on a RNN and the traditional residual control charting procedure through simulation study. The results show that the RNN-based classification procedure quickly detects changes in the process level, and the RNN-based forecasting procedure quickly detects changes in the process variance. Additionally, unlike the traditional monitoring procedure, the RNN-based procedures have the advantage that they do not require accurate model fitting for process data.
