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 np control chart is used widely in Statistical Process Control (SPC) for attributes. It is difficult to design an np chart that simultaneously satisfies a requirement on false alarm rate and has high detection effectiveness. This is mainly because one is often unable to make the in-control...

This article studies a unique feature of the binomial CUSUM chart in which the difference (dt-d0) is replaced by (dt-d0)2 in the formulation of the cumulative sum Ct (where dt and d0 are the actual and in-control numbers of nonconforming units, respectively, in a sample). Performance studies are...

A traffic accident can be considered as an example of the attribute events, and the number of the injured in each accident is called the event size. Some control charts have been developed for monitoring either the time interval (T) between the occurrences of an event or the event size (C) in...
