Chart with Variable Sample Size and Sampling Intervals

Pages 197-204 | Published online: 21 Feb 2018
 

Abstract

Recent theoretical studies have shown that the chart with variable sampling intervals (VSI) and the chart with variable sample size (VSS) are quicker than the traditional chart in detecting shifts in the process. This article considers the X̄ chart with variable sample size and sampling intervals (VSSI). It is assumed that the amount of time the process remains in control has exponential distribution. The properties of the VSSI chart are obtained using Markov chains. The VSSI chart is even quicker than the VSI or VSS charts in detecting moderate shifts in the process.
