Control limits are tabulated for implementation in practice. Being nonparametric, all in-control properties of the proposed chart remain the same and known for all continuous distributions.

The plotting statistic combines two popular nonparametric test statistics: the Wilcoxon rank sum test for location and the Ansari–Bradley test for scale. In this article, a single distribution-free Shewhart-type chart is proposed for monitoring the location and the scale parameters of a continuous distribution when both of these parameters are unknown. The assumption of normality is crucial for the validity of these charts. Several proposals have been published recently, where a single (combination) chart that is simpler and may have performance advantages, is used. Traditional statistical process control for variables data often involves the use of a separate mean and a standard deviation chart. In addition, the proposed model is evaluated by comparing performances of the joint X-bar and R charts, and X-bar and s charts for different sample sizes. Furthermore, the performance of the proposed method is examined and compared with that of Shewhart Control Charts by evaluating Type II error. The Fuzzy Inference Control System includes four stages to detect and distinguish mean and/or variance shifts in the quality characteristic. This paper presents a new method based on a fuzzy inference system for determining shifts in the process. Considering the cost that is caused by delay in defining the variability, it is important to determine the variation correctly and quickly in a production process. The determination of variability affects the cost and the quality in a process. Control charts are to detect the occurrence of the shifts in a process rapidly so that their causes can be found and the necessary corrective action can be taken before a large quantity of nonconforming products are manufactured. In a production environment, control charts are the most important tool to determine whether a process is in-control or out-of-control. Statistical process control is a very useful method to improve the product quality and reduce reworks and scraps. The simplicity in the design of the modified joint and R chart makes it suitable for the industries where the data are positively correlated. The performance of modified joint X-bar and R chart (with correlation) is compared with the performance of modified joint and R chart (without correlation) for sample size of 5, suggested by Prajapati & Mahapatra (2007) and it is observed that the performance of joint chart deteriorates as the level of correlation increases.

It is found that the joint modified X-bar and R chart outperforms the joint Shewhart and R chart at all the levels of correlation and process shifts in the mean and standard deviation. The performance of joint chart is measured in terms of average run lengths (ARLs) and compared with joint Shewhart chart for sample sizes of 5. The design of modified joint X-bar and R chart is based upon the sum of chi-squares theory. But, when it is required to monitor the changes in both the mean and standard deviation of the process, the joint X-bar and R charts should be used simultaneously for better results.
