Abstract
The cumulative sum chart for controlling the mean of a manufacturing process having normally distributed quality with known variance is studied. The costs of repairing the process, of operating out-of-control, and of maintaining the chart are assumed known. A formula giving approximately the long-run time average cost of operation as a function of the control chart parameters is given. Some rules of thumb for choosing these parameters are also suggested.
