| Abstract: | A Tukey's control chart was designed to monitor single observation data. Its easy control-limits setting and simple statistical concept are the most important advantages. In this study, we setup the Tukey's control chart based on known probability distribution and construct its average run length calculator. ARL performance of the Tukey's control chart is evaluated under a normal distribution and non normal distributions, respectively. The comparison of ARL performance reveals that Tukey's control chart is not sensitive to shift detection when the process heavily violates the normal assumption. The number of observations needed for Tukey's control chart setup is less than Shewhart's control chart. Tukey's control chart is a better choice for the process mean monitoring. |
