CUSUM Control Chart

The cumulative sum (CUSUM) control chart, introduced by E. S. Page in 1954, monitors a process by accumulating the deviations of observations from a target value rather than judging each point in isolation. Because small persistent shifts add up over time, the running sum makes them visible far sooner than a Shewhart chart, making CUSUM the tool of choice for detecting small, sustained changes in the process mean.
