For complex industrial processes with multiple operational conditions

it is important to develop effective monitoring algorithms to ensure the safety of production processes.This paper proposes a novel monitoring strategy based on fuzzy C-means.The high dimensional historical data are transferred to a low dimensional subspace spanned by locality preserving projection.Then the scores in the novel subspace are classified into several overlapped clusters

each representing an operational mode.The distance statistics of each cluster are integrated though the membership values into a novel BID (Bayesian inference distance) monitoring index.The efficiency and effectiveness of the proposed method are validated though the Tennessee Eastman benchmark process.
