abstract. in recent years several studies have shown that  control charts with adaptive schemes or double sampling plans detect both small and moderate shifts in the process mean more quickly than the traditional shewhart  chart. in the classical double sampling  chart, the difference between two points were placed in the central region of first stage was not considered. in this study, a new co...

The control charts are graphical tools and proven techniques to improve the performance of a process. Usually, the processes are not naturally controlled, so the use of control charts will help to reduce the variability and increase the stability of the process. In the traditional approach, control charts with fix sample size and constant sampling intervals were used to identify the changes in ...

control chart is the most well-known chart to monitor the number of nonconformities per inspection unit where each sample consists of constant size. generally, the design of a control chart requires determination of sample size, sampling interval, and control limits width. optimally selecting these parameters depends on several process parameters, which have been considered from statistical and...

Background and objectives: Risk-adjusted Bernoulli control chart is one of the main tools for monitoring multistage healthcare processes to achieve higher performance and effectiveness in healthcare settings. Using parameter estimates can lead to significantly deteriorate chart performance. However, so far, the effect of estimation error on this chart in which healthcare ...

Quality control is one of the most used statistical applications in industry. The control of attribute quality characteristics is a subject of study due to the need of improving the efficiency of the charts. The present paper deals with the improvement of the classical u chart, using the Daudin strategy, based in a double sampling scheme and a variable sample size. The DS-u chart is proposed. T...
