Modified short-run statistical process control for test and measurement process

The key characteristics of test and measurement (T&M) manufacturing are short-run, multi-product families and testing at multi-stations. These characteristics render statistical process control (SPC) inefficacious because inherently meagre data do not warrant meaningful control limits. Measureme...
