Abstract
The performance of a product often depends on several quality characteristics. These characteristics may have interactions. In answering the question “Is the process in control?”, multivariate statistical process control methods take these interactions into account. In this paper, we review several of these multivariate methods and point out where to fill up gaps in the theory. The review includes multivariate control charts, multivariate CUSUM charts, a multivariate MMA chart, and multivariate process capability indices. The most important open question from a practical point of view is how to detect the variables that caused an out‐of‐control signal. Theoretically, the statistical properties of the methods should be investigated more profoundly.Keywords
