As manufacturing systems are becoming more complex, the use of multivariate fault detection and diagnosis methods are increasingly important. Effective fault detection and diagnosis methods can minimize cost of rework, plant down time and maintenance time and improve reliability and safety. This thesis proposes Principal Components Analysis (PCA) based root cause identification approach for quality improvement in complex manufacturing processes. Simulation studies are presented to demonstrate the improved diagnosability of the proposed approach compared to existing methods. / A Thesis submitted to the Department of Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering in
