Abstract
In this manuscript a new monitoring scheme has been introduced using the double moving average for the exponential distribution under the EWMA statistic. The control chart coefficients have been estimated for specific error rates of the in-control and out-of-control processes. The design structure of the proposed chart is constructed and its performance is evaluated for different settings of the parameters with the commonly used measure of the average run lengths. The developed design has been compared with the existing counterpart. The proposed chart shows an outshine performance for the quickest detection of the shifted process. A practical example has been included for its practical use by the quality control personnel.
