Abstract
In the present paper, we propose a control chart based on extended exponentially weighted moving average (EEWMA) statistic to detect a quick shift in the mean. The mean and variance expression of the proposed EEWMA statistic are derived. The proposed EEWMA statistic is unbiased and simulation results show a smaller variance as compared to the traditional EWMA. The performance of the proposed control chart with the existing chart based on the EWMA statistic is evaluated in terms of average run length (ARL). Various tables were constructed for different values of parameters. The comparison of the EEWMA control chart with the traditional EWMA and Shewhart control charts illustrates that the proposed control chart performs better in terms of quick detection of the shift. The working procedure of the proposed control chart was also illustrated by simulated and application data.
