“…Table 4 shows the values of the ETARL of the VSS−γ chart for n(1) = n S (left part) and n(1) = n L (right part) for I ∈ {10, 30, 50}, γ 0 ∈ {0.05, 0.2}, ASS 0 = {5, 10, 15}, for = [0.5, 1) (decreasing case, denoted as τ < 1) and = (1, 2] (increasing case, denoted as τ > 1). As far as we know, the one-sided Shewhart-type chart, SH γ , monitoring the CV in a short run context, discussed by Castagliola et al [20], is the only available alternative to the VSS−γ chart presented in this paper. As a matter of comparison, Table 5 shows the values of the ETARL of the SH γ chart for I = {10, 30, 50}, γ 0 = {0.05, 0.2}, n = {5, 10, 15} for Ω = [0.5, 1) (decreasing case, denoted as τ < 1) and Ω = (1, 2] (increasing case, denoted as τ > 1).…”
