ABSTRACT

In this manuscript, a new variable sample size (VSS) control chart using multiple dependent state sampling is proposed. The sample size for the next subgroup is chosen on the basis of the location of the control statistic from the current subgroup in two pairs of the control limits. The average run length of the proposed chart is evaluated using Monte Carlo simulation. The performance of the proposed chart over the existing VSS control chart is presented using simulation study.
