In this paper we describe an approach for establishing control limits and sampling times which derives from economic performance criteria and a model for random shifts. The total cost related to both production and control is calculated, based on cost estimates for false alarms, for not identifying a true out of control situation, and for obtaining a data record through sampling. We describe the complete process for applying the method and compare with conventional procedures to real data from a Portuguese pulp and paper industrial plant. It turns out that substantial cost‐reductions may be obtained. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
