Measurement error is a usually met distortion factor in real-world applications that influences the outcome of a process. In this paper, we examine the effect of measurement error on the ability of the EWMA control chart to detect out-of-control situations. The model used is the one involving...

The paper establishes the analytical grounds of the uniform superiority of a variable sampling interval (VSI) Shewhart control chart over the conventional fixed sampling interval (FSI) control chart, with respect to the zero-time performance, for a wide class of process distributions. We provide...
