Abstrakt: The control chart based on Downton's estimator ( D chart) has recently been introduced in the literature for monitoring the process variability. The D chart is found to be equally efficient to the S chart in terms of detecting shifts in process variability. In this paper, salient features of D chart and the conforming run length chart are combined to produce synthetic D chart. The average run length performance of the synthetic D chart is investigated using simulation study and is compared with the originally proposed D chart and some other procedures proposed in the literature. It is found that it has an improved performance in comparison with the traditional control charts for process variability. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
