Industrial and Production Engineering Final Year Topic: Investigation of Statistical Control Chart Delays

This Industrial and Production Engineering final year project investigates detecting known process shifts in synthetic production measurements, connecting a bounded production decision to explicit data, constraints and reproducible comparison criteria.

Why choose this project topic?

The topic gives detecting known process shifts in synthetic production measurements a practical industrial-engineering scope without assuming access to an entire factory. Comparing detection delay, false alarms and missed shifts supports process diagrams, simulations or evidence reviews and helps explain why an apparent improvement may depend on its assumptions.

How do the selected production-system policies or assumptions affect detection delay, false alarms and missed shifts when detecting known process shifts in synthetic production measurements?

Choose a fictional production case, permitted dataset or harmless approved teaching task, then agree the workload and comparison criteria for detecting known process shifts in synthetic production measurements.

Proposed project objectives

  1. 01Define the production process, evidence and constraints required for detecting known process shifts in synthetic production measurements.
  2. 02Generate controlled mean and variance changes, compare chart rules and evaluate in-control and out-of-control behaviour.
  3. 03Compare detection delay, false alarms and missed shifts and report uncertainty, trade-offs and limits of application.

A suggested research approach

Generate controlled mean and variance changes, compare chart rules and evaluate in-control and out-of-control behaviour. Identify synthetic inputs and obtain permission for any real observations or participant tasks. Keep a documented baseline, inspect sensitivity to uncertain assumptions, and compare detection delay, false alarms and missed shifts without treating a modelled improvement as a verified factory outcome.

What you will need

  • Synthetic process streams
  • Control-chart software
  • Known shift labels

Keep your project scope clear

A chart signal does not identify the cause of a real production problem.
