Abstract
In this paper, we compare the robustness to the assumption of normality of the single control charts to control the mean and variance simultaneously. The charts examined were semicircle control chart, max chart and MSE chart with Shewhart individuals control charts. Their in-control and out-of-control performance were studied by simulation combined with computation. We calculated false alarm rate to compare among single charts by changing subgroup size and shifting mean of quality characteristics. It turns out that max chart is more robust than any of the others if the process is in-control. In some cases max chart and MSE chart are more robust than others if the process is out-of-control.
