  4. Abstract:
  5. Economic design of a control chart involves determining its basic parameters such that a cost function is minimized. This design when statistical performance measures are also considered is referred to as the economic-statistical design. In this paper, a simplex-based Nelder-Mead algorithm is used in combination with a particle swarm meta-heuristic procedure to solve both the economic and economic-statistical designs of a MEWMA control chart. The application results on extensive simulation experiments show that the particle swarm can lead the Nelder-Mead algorithm to better results. Furthermore, a comparative study is performed on the performances of three different algorithms of the Nelder-Mead, the particle swarm optimization (PSO), and the hybrid PSO and Nelder-Mead (PSO-NM). In this study, five different performance measures are taken into consideration and the results for both the economic and the economic-statistical models are reported at the end
