We extend the idea of process capability plots from the case of two-sided specification intervals to derive a graphical method useful when doing capability analysis having one-sided specification limits. The derived process capability plots are based on existing capability indices for one-sided specification limits. Both the cases with and without a target value are investigated. Under the assu...

BACKGROUND Obesity can limit physical capacity and lower physical activity levels in elderly people. Low physical activity levels may be mediated by autonomic dysfunction with decreased heart rate variability (HRV). However, the relationship between autonomic dysfunction and low physical capability remains unclear. This cross-sectional study investigated the association of low physical capabili...

Process capability indices are designed to describe how the process of interest can achieve to meet specification limits under a condition of statistical control. One of the capability indices is denoted as Cpm proposed by Chan, Cheng and Spiring (1988), sometimes termed the Taguchi index. The primary goal of this paper attempts to construct a confidence interval for Cpm, which measures proces...

Fuzzy process capability indices are used to determine whether a production process is capable of producing items within specification tolerance, where instead of precise quality we have two membership functions for specification limits. In practice these indices are estimated using sample data and it is of interest to obtain confidence limits for fuzzy capability index given a sample estimate....

The purpose of this study was to retrospectively evaluate the results from a Helical TomoTherapy Hi-Art treatment system relating to quality controls based on daily static and dynamic output checks using statistical process control methods. Individual value X-charts, exponentially weighted moving average charts, and process capability and acceptability indices were used to monitor the treatment...

Most research works related to process capability indices assume no gauge measurement errors. However, such an assumption inadequately reflects real situations even when advanced measuring instruments are employed. If we do not take into account these errors, conclusions drawn from process capability are therefore unreliable. In this paper we study the sampling distribution of capability indice...
