Cumulative Sum (CUSUM) quality control chart is commonly used in many industrial applications. In this research, an improved scheme of the CUSUM chart is introduced to monitor attribute data. In this scheme, the difference between actual and in-control numerals of nonconforming items is raised to an exponent w to enhance the detection effectiveness. The exponent w is optimized, along with other charting parameters to minimize the Average Number of Defectives (AND) which is used as an objective function. The proposed scheme outperforms the conventional CUSUM chart for detecting a wide range of shifts in fraction non-conforming.
