Control charting techniques have been applied to a wide variety of areas. In certain areas,
such as in finance and healthcare, the process mean and variance are not independent of …

In this paper, we provide an overview of a class of control charts called the synthetic charts.
Synthetic charts are a combination of a traditional chart (such as a Shewhart, CUSUM, or …

Recent studies show that the Shewhart median chart is widely used for detecting shifts in a
process, but it is often rather inefficient in detecting small or moderate process shifts. In order …

In this paper, a new distribution-free double exponentially weighted moving average
(DEWMA) control chart based on the Wilcoxon rank-sum (WRS) test without any …

During the last two decades, many new methods have appeared in statistical process
monitoring with synthetic‐type control charts being a prominent constituent. These charts …

A synthetic chart is a combination of a conforming run‐length chart and an chart, or
equivalently, a 2‐of‐(H+ 1) runs‐rules (RR) chart with a head‐start feature. However, a …

Runs‐rules have been widely used since the 1950s in industrial and nonindustrial process
monitoring applications to improve the performance of basic and other traditional monitoring …

Side-sensitive Shewhart-type designs have been shown in a variety of process monitoring
contexts to increase the performance of traditional charts when the process observations are …

The steady-state average run length (ARL) is a function of the in-control probabilities of
being in each nonabsorbing state. Davis and Woodall (2002) tabulated values that are …

The use of the 2-of-(H+ 1) runs-rules and synthetic schemes to improve the performance of
the currently available X¯ schemes in monitoring the process mean under the combined …
