This study presents X and S control charts for monitoring the process variability for skewed distributions. We propose Weighted Standard Deviation (WSD) X and S control charts. Standard deviation estimator is applied to monitor the process variability for estimating the process standard deviation, in the case of the WSD X and S control charts as this estimator is simple and easy to compute. Unlike the Shewhart control chart, the proposed charts provide asymmetric limits in accordance with the direction and degree of skewness to construct the upper and lower limits. The performances of the proposed charts are compared with other heuristic charts for skewed distributions by using Simulation study. The Simulation studies show that the proposed control charts have good properties for skewed distributions and large sample sizes.enWeighted standard deviationLognormal distributionsX and S control chartsArticle682137713862618-6470
