Description

Technical Field

[0002] Process control in a production workshop is a complex system engineering that requires taking into account multiple constraints such as quality, cost and risk. Among them, customer requirements for product quality constitute quality constraints, while the costs involved in production operations constitute cost constraints. In order to avoid the risks caused by misjudgment of process status while meeting quality and cost constraints, risk constraints are generated. These constraints jointly require that the process control solution must have multiple functions, including timely collection of process data, accurate monitoring of process status, in-depth data analysis and real-time feedback. In modern industrial production, there are many process control methods, such as continuous sampling plan (CSP), process yield index, process capability index, process qualified product rate, equipment maintenance and control charts. These methods have their own applications in process control, but they also have obvious limitations. Among them, continuous sampling plan (CSP) is one of the important methods of process control.
