Abstract

Over the last few years, recursive extensions to multivariate statistical process control (MSPC) techniques have gained attention for their ability in monitoring large-scale, time-varying processes. Although recursive MSPC techniques have been successfully applied in detecting faulty conditions, little interest has been shown in utilising them for diagnosis purposes. This paper addresses this issue and introduces new fault diagnosis charts that rely on recursive MSPC models. The utility of these is demonstrated using an application study on a simulation of a complex chemical process.
