Abstract

Control charts serve the purpose of detecting shifts in a process, with early detection being of paramount importance in the industrial context. Aslam et al. [2] introduced a mixed control chart utilizing exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) statistics, employing an approximation method to calculate the average run length. Contrarily, Haq and Woodall [6] advocated the application of Monte Carlo simulation for determining the average run length when using EWMA statistics in control charts. This paper focuses on the development of np-EWMA and np-HEWMA control charts via Monte Carlo simulations. The utilization of Monte Carlo simulation results is posited to offer superior accuracy compared to the approximation method.
