The NPK Pelangi Fusion fertilizer is one of the main products manufactured by PT Pupuk Kalimantan Timur. NPK fertilizer is a blend of various plant nutrients, primarily Nitrogen, Phospat, and Kalium, aimed at enhancing crop yields. However, deviations from the NPK fertilizer specifications can lead to inconsistent plant growth and low harvest yields. Statistical Process Control (SPC) is a method used to process data and monitor production processes using statistical techniques, with the goal of detecting changes in process performance through the use of control charts. In this study, the Multivariate Exponentially Weighted Moving Variance (MEWMV) control chart is used to monitor the variance of the production process due to its optimal performance in detecting small variance shifts. Additionally, the Multivariate Exponentially Weighted Moving Average (MEWMA) control chart is used to monitor the mean of the NPK Pelangi Fusion production process, as it quickly detects subtle shifts in variance. The analysis results indicate that the optimal weighting for the MEWMV control chart is ω=0.2 and λ=0.4, resulting in an Average Run Length (ARL) of 370. Similarly, the optimal weighting for the MEWMA control chart is λ=0.06, with an upper control limit of H=9.80 and an ARL of 200. This study concludes that the mean and variance of the multivariate production process have been effectively controlled.
