Abstract
In this paper we discussed the robustness of the mean chart to non-normality and measurement error with known cv. It is seen that many areas of statistical application can easily lead to quite non-normal distribution as well as erroneous observation. The joint effect of non-normality and measurement error on the OC and type-I error has been investigated. The non-normal distribution has been represented by the first four terms of an Edgeworth series visual comparison shows that the effect of non-normality and measurement error is serious on the OC function and type-I error.
