Abstract

It is well known that statistical control charts such as Shewhart, CUSUM and EWMA charts have widespread applications in improving the quality for manufacturing and service systems. The average run length is a traditional measurement of a control chart’s performance. Usually, finding the run length distribution and the average run length is a difficult and tedious task. In this article, we develop a general and unified approach based on the use of discretization and the finite Markov chain imbedding technique to investigate the run length properties for various control charts when the process observations are autocorrelated. Numerical results are presented for illustrative purposes.
