In this paper, we present new two-stage multiple comparison procedures with the average for location parameters of two-parameter exponential distributions under heteroscedasticity by modifying the existing one proposed by Wu and Wu. Not like one-stage procedures, two-stage multiple comparison procedures are design oriented. A simulation comparison study is done for the new two stage procedures, the old two stage procedures in Wu and Wu and the existing one-stage procedures. The results show that the proposed procedures have shorter confidence length with coverage probabilities closer to the nominal ones than the old two-stage one. At last, an example of four drugs for the treatment for leukemia is studied for illustrative aims.
