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...

The np chart and the binomial cumulative sum (CUSUM) chart are attribute charts that monitor the fraction non-conforming p. While the np chart is effective for detecting large process shifts in p, the CUSUM chart is more powerful for detecting small and moderate p shifts. This article presents...

The time-between-event (TBE) charts are used to monitor the failure rate λ by examining the time interval T between events. This article proposes a two-sided CUSUM chart (the balanced two-sided CUSUM chart) for detecting both increasing and decreasing shifts in λ. The performance studies show...
