Process shift is an important input parameter in the economic design of control charts. Earlier x control chart designs considered constant shifts to occur in the mean of the process for a given assignable cause. This assumption has been criticized by many researchers since it may not be...

When monitoring a variable x in statistical process control, it is necessary to monitor both the mean and variability. Recently, it is found that, if both the mean shift δμ and standard deviation shift δσ follow the uniform distribution, many control charts with different complicacy are...
