Abstract Control charts are important statistical process control tools for determining whether a process is run in its intended mode or in the presence of unnatural patterns. Patterns displayed on control charts can provide information about the process. This paper describes the development of a pattern recognition system designed to detect and analyse various patterns that can occur on statistical quality control charts. The system looks not only for simple patterns, such as trend, shift and stratification, but also for superimposed patterns, such as trend + shift. The effect of noise associated with individual patterns is also analysed. The benefits of the approach compared with the alternatives are discussed.
