This topic is very important for two reasons: firstly nonparametric control charts are very effective instruments for the realization of the statistical process monitoring phase I due to their robustness against various deviations from the data assumptions that must be met when applying model-based control charts. Secondly nonparametric control charts have very weak SW support and also they are not taught in the frame of training courses not even of the university study programmes.

The paper offers the proposal how to practically apply these control charts which is based on the complex simulation study of various nonparametric control charts performance when various data assumptions have not been met. The study has covered these nonparametric control charts: Shewhart sign control chart, nonparametric EWMA and nonparametric CUSUM control charts, nonparametric progressive mean control chart, control chart based on Mood statistics and robust median absolute deviation control chart. All charts have been studied in condition of not normally distributed data, autocorrelated data and data with nonconstant distribution parameters.
