A number of methods have been developed for implementing Statistical Process Control (SPC) for multi-stream manufacturing processes, but none of them proposed an SPC scheme for a multi-stage and multi-stream manufacturing system in an integrative and optimal manner. In this talk, we present some algorithms for the optimization designs of the integrated control chart systems. They consist of several control charts for monitoring the multi-stage and multi-stream manufacturing processes.
