Abstract
An integrated design methodology has been developed for a run-to-run PID controller and SPC monitoring for the purpose of process disturbance rejection. In the paper, the process disturbance is assumed to be an ARM A (1,1) process. A detailed procedure is developed to design a PID controller which minimizes process variability. The performance of the PID controller is also discussed. A joint monitoring of input and output, using Bonferroni's approach, is then designed for the controlled process. The ARL performance is studied. One major contribution of the paper is to develop a complete procedure and design plots, which serve as tools to conduct all the aforementioned tasks. An example is provided to illustrate the integrated design approach.
