“…In the SPC literature, Shewhart‐type control chart for monitoring the coefficient of variation (CV), which is defined as the ratio of the population standard deviation to the population mean, has already been investigated by Kang et al; subsequently, several control charts have been developed in the literature for monitoring the CV. For further details, see, for instance, Castagliola et al, Calzada and Scariano, Castagliola et al, Castagliola et al, Zhang et al, Castagliola et al, Castagliola et al, Amdouni et al, You et al, and Tran and Tran among others. For example, in textile manufacturing industry, the variation among tensile strength measurements from thin thread is significantly smaller than measurements taken from heavy thread because of the inherent physical properties of fiber.…”
