Abstract
Nearly one hundred types of control charts have been proposed that incorporate ranked-set sampling (RSS) methods. The performance of these charts has been evaluated with comparisons to existing charts based on simple random sampling. The reduction of the standard error in estimating the parameter being monitored with RSS leads to uniformly better average run length performance. We show, however, that these performance comparisons can be very misleading once the sampling strategy over time is considered more carefully with the benefits of RSS being considerably overstated. We consider the most basic RSS method when monitoring the mean of the process, but the approach can be applied to evaluate other RSS monitoring methods.
