This paper investigates economic–statistical properties of the X̄ charts supplemented with m‐of‐m runs rules. An out‐of‐control condition for the chart is either a point beyond a control limit or a run of m‐of‐m successive points beyond a warning limit. The sampling process is modeled by a Markov chain with 2m states. The steady‐state probability for each state and the average run length (ARL) from each state of the Markov chain are derived in explicit formulas. Then the stationary average run length (SALR) is derived so as to develop an economic–statistical model. Using this model, the design parameters are optimized by minimizing the cost function with constraints on the average time to signal (ATS). The X̄ chart supplemented with m‐of‐m runs rules is compared with the Shewhart X̄ chart in terms of the SARL and the cost function. Sensitivity of the design parameters with respect to the cost function is also analyzed. General guidelines for implementing the X̄ chart with m‐of‐m runs rules are presented from those observations. It should be emphasized that supplementing run rules may provide feasible and efficient solutions even if the sample size is limited, while the Shewhart X̄ chart may not.
