Abstract
In 1924 Shewhart introduced a new method for controlling the quality of a production process-the control chart. The most general control chart methodology consists of Sampling from a process and evaluating the samples in order to find a signal that the considered production process is out-of-control. Whenever this state of the process is indicated searching and removing the assignable cause takes place. There are many propositions concerning the problem how to design control chart (see Lorenzen & Vance (1986) for references) - most of them are based rather on practical experience than on formal reasoning, reflecting the situation that up to now there does not exist a generally accepted method how to design control charts.
