    We present an overview of literature on nonparametric or distribution-free control charts for uni-variate variable data. We highlight various advantages of these charts while pointing out some of the disadvantages of the more traditional, distribution based control charts. Specific observations are made in the course of review of articles and constructive criticism is offered so that opportunities for further research can be identified. Connections to some areas of active research are made, such

    section{Simple POdtSHS System Example} label{sec:shsexample} Since we are interested in faults and degradation, the system will have three modes and one continuous state, i.e.: egin{itemize} item $mathcal{Q}={q_1,q_2,q_3}={mathrm{OK},mathrm{FAULTY},mathrm{BROKEN}}$ item $n(q_1)=n(q_2)=n(q_3)=1$ end{itemize} The modes signalize the faults of the system, with $q_1$ being the faultless mode, $q_2$ denoting a fault in the system that compromises its operation and finally $q_3$ denoting completely broken

    decision-maker with a range of possible outcomes and probabilities that they will occur for any chance of action. It shows the extreme possibilities of things as well. The system calculates results over and over, each time using a different set of random values from the probability functions. The simulation could involve tens and thousands of recalculations before its complete. There will be many different probability distributions. In this exploration I will find how to use the Monte Carlo Simulation

    It means PERT assumes that the duration of each activity is represented by a random variable with a known probability density function. PERT extends CPM by introducing the concept of uncertainty in estimating activity durations. “PERT uses expected mean time (te) with standard deviation or variance. The expected mean time (te) of an individual
