New capability indices for evaluating the performance of multivariate manufacturing processes
نویسندگان
چکیده
Generally, an industrialproduct hasmore thanone quality characteristic. In order toestablish performance measures for evaluating the capability of a multivariate manufacturing process, several multivariate process capability indices have been developed in the past few years. Among them, Taam’s MCp and MCpm indices have the drawback of overestimation and Hubele’s three-component capability vector lacks simplicity in practice. In this article, taking the correlation among multiple quality characteristics into account, we develop two novel indices; NMCp and NMCpm. Using two numerical examples we demonstrate that the true performance of multivariate processes are accurately reflected in our NMCp and NMCpm indices and in their associated interval estimates. Finally, simulation results show that our indices outperform both those of Taam and Hubele. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

متن کاملCapability Indices for Rayleigh Process
Monitoring, control and improvement of quality are important for companies. Process capability indices (PCIs) are tools widely used by the industries to determine the quality of their products and the performance of their manufacturing processes. Classic versions of these indices were constructed for processes whose quality characteristics have a normal distribution. But, many of these ...
متن کاملMultivariate process capability indices on the presence of priority for quality characteristics
Multivariate Process Capability Indices (MPCI) show how well a manufacturing process can meet specifica-tion limits when quality characteristics enclose a relative correlation. Process capability is an important and commonly used metric for assessing and improving the quality of a production process. When quality charac-teristics of a product are correlated then an attractive comes close to MPC...
متن کاملResiduals based process capability indices for two-stage processes
The manufacturing operations often involve multistage processes where the process capability of each stage is affected by the process capability of its precedent processes. This property is known as the cascade property. The purpose of this paper is to estimate the process capability of the second stage of two-stage process while the cascade property impact is removed using residuals analysis. ...
