hi Darius, thanks for your reply! i'll try to search the book that you mentioned...but do you have any idea where can i get "multivariable control chart" in the internet??? like some article...website...tutorial...
ps: sorry for the late reply....last saturday was my sister wedding...was a busy day...

The most of it is about "short run Spc", you can find info in the net.

http://www.asq.org/pub/qmj/past/vol1...4/vermani.html

I included an article about the same variable with different targets.

but as I said, it can be Target, Short Run, Group charts (even a a mixture of them ie. Group Short Run).

Why don't explain it more?, your post looks too general to help.

mclaubee -

I think we need more info. Are you trying to control chart multiple characteristics of a single part? e.g. lenght and weight of a part.If so, start off with "Advanced Topics in SPC", Wheeler, Chapter 15.
The internet search most likelky to be fruitfull for this is "Hotelling's t squared."
I found this link which might help.

Darius is interpreting your need as being to do short run SPC e.g. lenght of part number 123, equivalent lenght of part 456. The references he cites are excellant for that situation if that is your case.

Juran's (as usual) treats both these in the control chart section ( chapter 45 of the 5th ed) , but is pretty skimpy.

PS I won't be able to give practical advice on either as all my experience has been more prosaic. You must have some "kewl" applications as my kids say, if you are considering these exotic types.
Wonder if common Shewhart techniques might do you just as well.
Only one old dog's opinion.

mclaubee,

This might help a little...

Hotelling T**2 Chart. When there are multiple related quality characteristics (recorded in several variables), we can produce a simultaneous plot (see example below) for all means based on Hotelling multivariate T**2 statistic (first proposed by Hotelling, 1947).

There is an example of it (an lotsa other neat stuff) here: http://www.statsoft.com/textbook/stathome.html

Lotsa luck!

There are articles of interest in old Technometrics Journals as well.
