Abstract: Abstract This paper proposes a resampling procedure for estimating the control limits of any statistical control chart which is based on a statistic calculated from a random sample of data. This includes charts for the mean, range, standard deviation, median, proportion defective, number defective and so on. This procedure has advantages over conventional methods in its conceptual simplicity and transparency, flexibility, generality and robustness. The paper describes the operation of a simple program (available from the internet) for carrying out the resampling procedure.
