A production manager monitors the diameter and weight of bowls that are manufactured at a plant to ensure consistency. The manager collects three bowls per day and measures their diameters and weights.
The production manager creates a multivariate EWMA chart to simultaneously monitor the diameter and weights of bowl over time.
