Abstract

In the field of operational control, Shewhart Control Charts and Cusum Charts have long been available to management. These techniques provide help by detecting rogue values of a control variable and changes in the underlying mean of that variable respectively. This paper describes a new technique for identifying changes in the trend of a control variable, particularly when that variable is subject to large inherent variance.
