Abstract

The necessary and sufficient conditions for various modes of interactions of the upper and lower schemes with headstarts are derived. The expression for the Laplace transform of the run-length distribution (for both interacting and non-interacting schemes) is obtained and used to develop a method of analysis for general two-sided cumulative sum schemes with headstarts. The results are shown to be relevant in the case when the schemes are supplemented by Shewhart’s control limits.
