Abstract: Quality of industrial production processes may suffer from wear‐out phenomena continuouslygrowing in time, and from sudden disturbances occurring at random time. Either ofthem affects process quality and thus process yield. Consequently, there should be counter‐actions,which aim to remove signs of wear before they result in a decrease of processyield on the one hand, and which detect disturbances before their impact has become serious.In this paper, it is assumed that the wear‐out phenomena are sufficiently compensated bymeans of continuous maintenance. It remains to determine an appropriate monitoring policyin order to detect disturbances. A unified economic approach is proposed and investigated,including different modes of process monitoring together with a decision function reactingsimultaneously on shifts in the process mean and process variability.
