Abstract This paper provides a rationale for making a statistical comparison between the techniques of ‘pre‐control’ and traditional X and R charts. Special attention is drawn to the application of both techniques to the short run manufacturing environment where, for the use of X and R charts, parameter estimation is a problem. The total discussion is in the context of the manufacture of discrete items.
