Phase I Multivariate Coefficient of Variation Control Charts for High‐Dimensional Processes

Quality and Reliability Engineering International, Volume 42, Issue 5, Page 2314-2327, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Multivariate control charts have traditionally focused on monitoring the process mean vector and/or covariance matrix. Recent studies have extended this framework to Phase II monitoring of the multivariate coefficient of variation (MCV); yet very limited work has examined MCV‐based monitoring in Phase I.
