When complex systems are monitored, multi-observations from several sensors or sources may be available. These observations can be fused through Bayesian theory to give a posterior probabilistic estimate of the underlying state which is often not directly observable. This forms the basis of a Bayesian control chart where the estimated posterior probability of the state can be compared with a preset threshold level to assess whether a full inspection is needed or not. Maintenance can then be carried out if indicated as necessary by the inspection. This paper considers the design of such multivariate Bayesian control chart where both the transition between states and the relationship between observed information and the state are not Markovian. Since analytical or numerical solutions are difficult for the case considered in this paper, Monte Carlo simulation is used to obtain the optimal control chart parameters, which are the monitoring interval and the upper control limit. A two-stage failure process characterised by the delay time concept is used to describe the underlying state transition process and Bayesian theory is used to compute the posterior probability of the underlying state, which is embedded in the simulation algorithm. Extensive examples are shown to demonstrate the modelling idea.
► A non-Markovian, a two-stage failure process with arbitrary random sojourn times in each stage is used.
► Both age and block-based monitoring policies are considered.
► The random observation process can follow any distribution.
► A simulation-based approach combined with a Bayesian-based analytical calculation is proposed for problem solving.
