This thesis proposes a new approach in statistical control chart design called Integrated Quality Control (IQC). IQC integrates all components involved in the process of control chart design. In traditional control chart design, chart designers start the process by several given assumptions including the normal distribution of quality variable(s), independence of samples and known model parameters in economical design of control charts. IQC verifies all of these assumptions and provides alternative tools to check if any of these assumptions are violated. To achieve this goal IQC utilizes a rich library of control charts. This thesis further introduces a univariate control chart for nonnormal variables and a cause selecting statistic for identifying the contributing variables in multivariate systems when an out of control signal is detected. In multivariate systems, IQC uses Hotelling T2 and MEWMA control charts for detection of out-ofcontrol signals and by using the introduced cause selecting procedure identifies the outof-control parameters. IQC extends existing research by proposing a method to calculate the cost parameters of the economic model. Economical design of control charts in multivariate system is an important part of control chart design and all of developed models by researchers assume the time between failures in the system follows an exponential distribution. IQC extends the economic design of Hotelling T2 and MEWMA control charts to systems under Weibull shock model which is a more appropriate model for production systems with mechanical parts. Finally, IQC introduces a data streaming protocol that integrates measuring devices with the quality system, overcoming common physical limitations to enable real-time monitoring and control.

In the last decades, the production of goods and the offer of services have become quite complex activities mostly because of the markets globalisation, of the continuous push to the innovation and of the constant requests from more and more demanding markets. The main objective of a company system has become the achievement of the quality for the business management cycle. This cycle goes from the design (Plan) to the production (Do), from the control (Check) to the man agement (Action), as well as to the marketing and distribution. Nowadays, the Total Quality of the company system is evaluated, according to the ISO 9000 regulations, in terms of its capacity to adjust the design and the pro duction to the needs expressed (explicitly or implictly) by the final users of a product/service. In this process, the use of statistical techniques is essential not only in the classical approach of Quality Control of a product but also, and most importantly, in the Quality Design oriented to the satisfaction of customers. Thus, Total Quality refers to the global capacity of a company to fit its system to the real needs of its customers by designing products which are able to match the customers' taste and by implementing a statistical control of both the product and the Customer Satisfaction. In such a process of design and evaluation, several statistical variables are involved and with a different nature (numerical, categorical, ordinal).

Univariate and multivariate quality control charts are important tools for process/product monitoring and improvement. This monograph offers the developments and analyses of univariate and multivariate control charts, which are based on a generalized likelihood ratio (GLR) approach. It is commonly assumed that a process fault may shift the mean of a monitored statistic persistently to an unknown but constant value. However, there are situations such that a mean change is not constant but time varying. Incorporating a priori knowledge of a fault signature, a univariate GLR control chart is investigated for monitoring fault signatures. The GLR methodology can also be used in developing multivariate process control charts. Here, the GLR methodology is used to unify the development of various multivariate extensions to the CUSUM control charts. In addition to the GLR control charts under a normal distribution model, another GLR control chart is also proposed for monitoring a non- homogenous Markovian queuing system.
