- Abstract
Exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) control charts are regarded as one of the most convenient tools in detecting small process shifts. Although EWMA control charts have been extensively used to monitor the mean of quality characteristics, there are few studies concentrating on the monitoring of process variability by using weighted moving control charts. In this paper, we propose an exponentially weighted moving sample variance (EWMSV) control chart for monitoring process variability when the sample size is equal to 1. The results are compared numerically with other similar methods using the average run length (ARL). Through an example, the practical considerations are presented to implement EWMSV control charts.
