Abstract: A novel statistical approach for multiple-stream processes is proposed in this manuscript. As important as quality control in manufacturing is, hypothesis tests are an important part of it if utilized and constructed the most logically to evaluate and decide on a special matter in a production line or a production machine. The proposed statistical approach is explained in detail in a spinning mill having 20 spinning frames. The spinning frames are adjusted according to customers' orders and to the technology of spinning frames first. Then, the result of that adjustment is controlled statistically by means of hypothesis testing, ?2, t-test, and F statistics are used. Later, they are pooled one by one, and at the end, all 20 spinning frames are considered as one machine producing the same yarn, the same variance of yarn count, and the same yarn count. Performed literature review claims that control charts are appropriate for multiple-stream processes. But, the application of this proposed statistical approach guarantees that production starts with correct adjustments on machines, and control charts become more sensitive to the assignable causes. The application area of this proposed statistical approach is wide, leading to higher quality in products, a requirement that is in demand more every day.
