In this paper, a t-control chart based on modified multiple dependent state sampling is proposed for monitoring processes that assume time between events following exponential distribution. The chart has double control limits and employs information from a previous sample and the current sample. The control chart coefficient “constants” are estimated by considering different values of the in-control average run lengths. The detection ability of the proposed control chart is found to be better than that of control charts based on multiple dependent state sampling in terms of average run lengths and the standard deviation of run lengths and better than generalized multiple dependent state sampling in terms of average run lengths. Case studies with real data are included as illustrative examples for the implementation of the proposed chart.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
