The determination of economic control charts and the determination of specification limits with minimum cost are two different research topics. In this study, we first combine the design of economic control charts and the determination of specification limits to maximize the expected profit per unit time for the smaller the better quality variable following the gamma distribution. Because of the asymmetric distribution, we design the EWMA control chart with asymmetric control limits. We simultaneously determine the economic EWMA control chart and upper specification limit with maximum expected profit per unit time. Then, extend the approach to determine the economic variable sampling interval EWMA control chart and upper specification limit with maximum expected profit per unit time.
In all our numerical examples of the two profit models, the optimum expected profit per unit time under inspection is higher than that of no inspection. The detection ability of the EWMA chart with an appropriate weight is always better than the X-bar probability chart. The detection ability of the VSI EWMA chart is also superior to that of the fixed sampling interval EWMA chart. Sensitivity analyses are provided to determine the significant parameters for the optimal design parameters and the optimal expected profit per unit time.
