This paper is concerned with the statistical properties of tests composed of the standard control chart test supplemented by one or more tests for runs of points in various zones into which the control chart is partitioned. The basic properties of the resultant tests, called zone tests, are illustrated graphically. A procedure for determining the properties of many zone tests of practical interest is described.
