Summary/Abstract: The concept of the statistical control chart was developed in 1924 by W. A. Shewhart. The control chart is a graphical display of a quality characteristic such as sample mean, standard deviation or range. The classical control charts are constructed under such assumptions as the form of distribution and independence, and the normality of the distribution is usually assumed. In many situations we may have reason to doubt the validity of the independence assumption – for example, in chemical processes where consecutive measurements on process characteristics are often highly correlated. The paper presents a proposal for a control chart for monitoring auto-correlated processes. The properties of this control chart were analysed in a Monte Carlo study.
