Abstract
A new EWMA control chart has been proposed under repetitive sampling when a quantitative characteristic follows the exponential distribution. The properties of the proposed chart, including the average run lengths has been is compared with two existing control charts with the help of simulated data. An application of the proposed chart hs been illustrated using a healthcare data set.

Keywords: control chart, EWMA statistic, exponential distribution, normal distribution, average run length
