Abstract
We present an overview of the literature on nonparametric or distribution-free control charts for univariate variables data. We highlight various advantages of these charts while pointing out some of the disadvantages of the more traditional, distribution-based control charts. Specific observations are made in the course of review of articles and constructive criticism is offered so that opportunities for further research can be identified. Connections to some areas of active research are made, such as sequential analysis, that are relevant to process control. We hope that this article leads to a wider acceptance of distribution-free control charts among practitioners and serves as an impetus to future research and development in this area.
