Monitoring the quality of statistical processes has been of great importance, mostly in industrial applications. Control charts are widely used for this purpose, but often lack the possibility to monitor survival outcomes.

For this reason many new survival control charts have been devised and existing ones have been extended to incorporate survival outcomes.
