Abstract
Comparing one's own work with the work of some established entity in the same field is commonly referred to as benchmarking. The same goes for educational performance also. Countries can customize general philosophies on education and tailor make them according to their specific needs. This diversity speaks about the acceptability of such a philosophy. But evaluation remains a daunting task - reason being it involves objective rather than subjective analysis. Objective analysis usually calls for specific standard statistical tools applied across a spectrum of subjects. Application of control charts in educational arena for monitoring and evaluating educational performance is still in embryonic stage but is getting recognized as an effective monitoring tool. It is a double-edged sword as it looks at the continuity of a process on the one hand and on the other hand also pinpoints any obvious undue variations occurring in the process. The present study will assess the application of a control chart developed using Multiple Dependent State Repetitive (MDSR) sampling technique. The data set used for demonstrating the proposed technique will be from Weber State University. Both the traditional and proposed charts were plotted using R software. Comparison of the proposed control chart and the traditional control chart will be shown to assess the efficiency of the proposed technique. Findings of the study will be supplemented by applying the proposed control chart on a real-life data set and explaining the outcomes.
