This article compares the effectiveness and robustness of nine typical control charts for monitoring the mean of a variable, including the most effective optimal and adaptive Sequential Probability Ratio Test (SPRT) charts. The nine charts are categorized into three types (the X¯ type, CUSUM...

This article proposes a new control chart (called the ABS SPRT chart) for Statistical Process Control (SPC) based on Sequential Probability Ratio Test (SPRT). This chart is able to monitor the mean and variance of a variable x simultaneously by inspecting the absolute sample shift x-[mu]0 (where...

This article presents a single CUSUM scheme (called the GCUSUM chart) for simultaneously monitoring the time interval T and magnitude X of an event. For example, a traffic accident may be considered as an event, and the total loss in dollars in each case is the event magnitude. Since the GCUSUM...

The and CUSUM control charts are used most widely for monitoring the mean of a quality characteristic x. This article studies the sample sizes and nCUSUM of these two charts in the domain of statistical design. However, the study takes the important sampling inspection cost (including the...
