A comparison between the performances of double sampling X and variable sample size X charts

The double sampling (DS) X and variable sample size (VSS) X charts are very effective to detect small and moderate shifts in the process mean. Both charts are usually investigated under the assumption of known process parameters. However, the process parameters are commonly estimated from an in-c...
