Phase I Shewhart p , np and runs of conforming charts are investigated. The performance of these charts are assessed using the probability of a false alarm. As with other Phase I Shewhart charts, the probability of a false alarm increases as the number, m , of samples increases for a fixed sample size, n . For a fixed value of m , the probability of at least one signal decreases as the sample size n increases. The probability of a signal for a runs of conforming chart depends on the number of samples m . Like the p and np charts, as m increases the probability of a false alarm increases. Unlike the p and np charts, the false alarm rate for a runs of conforming chart does not depend on the in‐control value of p . Copyright © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
