Abstract
In this paper, successive sampling (SS) mean monitoring control chart is proposed for two successive occasions using multiple dependent state (MDS) sampling and characterized as MDS-SS control chart. The sample size is selected on the basis of SS for the control statistic in two pairs of the control limits. The average run length is evaluated, and the performance of the proposed concept over the existing SS control chart is presented using a real-life example. The SS monitoring chart concept is compiled with MDS, and it becomes more sophisticated in detection of warning signs.
