Abstract In this paper, a c-control chart using a triple sampling scheme (TS-c) is studied. The chart design, procedure, and a bi-objective optimization model are given to optimize the TS-c-chart. The Average Run Length for in-control and out-of-control ( <m:math xmlns:m="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <m:msub> <m:mi>ARL</m:mi> <m:mn>1</m:mn> </m:msub> </m:math> \mathrm{ARL}_{1} ), and Average Sample Number metrics are calculated. A Comparison among TS-c, Fixed parameters c (FP-c), VSS-c, EWMA-c, and Double Sampling c (DS-c) control charts are carried out in terms of <m:math xmlns:m="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <m:msub> <m:mi>ARL</m:mi> <m:mn>1</m:mn> </m:msub> </m:math> \mathrm{ARL}_{1} . The proposed TS-c-chart has lower <m:math xmlns:m="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <m:msub> <m:mi>ARL</m:mi> <m:mn>1</m:mn> </m:msub> </m:math> \mathrm{ARL}_{1} values for detecting small and moderate shifts in the mean number of non-conformities in control compared with FP-c, VSS-c, EWMA-c, and DS-c.
