Abstract
Cumulative sum (CUSUM) procedures have been used by many practitioners as an alternative to a Shewhart chart. The value of normality-based CUSUM procedures is well-established and CUSUM procedures have been used for decades. In recent years CUSUM procedures have also been proposed for random variables with non-normal distributions (see, e.g., Lucas [16, 17], Wang [32], Gan [8, 9], Radaelli [26], Mathers, Harris, and Lancaster [21], and Edgeman [6]
