Abstract
A sequential parameter control technique previously introduced by the author is modified in this paper so as to make it simple in practice. The detailed procedure involving two phases, a warning phase with control limits and a testing phase using an appropriate test is illustrated for a queueing system with an embedded Markov chain. Operating characteristics of the procedure are also examined.
