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...

In statistical process control (SPC), when dealing with a quality characteristic x that is a variable, it is usually necessary to monitor both the mean value and variability. This article proposes an optimization algorithm (called the holistic algorithm) to design the CUSUM charts for this...

This article presents the optimization design of the combined Shewhart chart and CUSUM chart ( chart in short) used in Statistical Process Control (SPC). While the optimization design effectively improves the overall performance of the chart over the entire process shift range, it does not...
