Abstract: Investigating the effect of measurement errors on the control chart monitoring the ratio of two normal random variables is an important task to facilitate the use of this kind of control chart in practice. Moreover, a deep insight into the problem can help practitioners to find a way to reduce unexpected impacts of measurement errors on the chart performance. This paper provides a study on the performance of the exponentially weighted moving average control chart monitoring the ratio in the presence of measurement errors. We extend the linear covariate error model applied in previous studies to a more general situation, which makes the study more realistic. The numerical results show that although the precision error and the accuracy error have negative influences on the proposed chart performance when these errors are not large these influences are not significant.
