Abstract
Control charts are the most popular monitoring tools used to distinguish between special (assignable) and common causes of variation and to detect any changes in processes. The time that a control chart gives an out‐of‐control signal is not the real time of change. The actual time of the change is called the change point. Knowing the real time of the change will help and simplify finding the assignable causes of the signal, which may be the result of a shift in the process mean or change in process variability. This article gives an overview of change point estimation in control charts, provides a classification scheme, and describes the research that has previously appeared in the literature. In addition, a gap analysis in this area provides direction for future research. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
