Profile is a relationship between a response variable and one or more independent variables which can describe quality of a process or a product. On the other hand, for an in-control process, capability indices are criteria for the process quality improvement that allows to meet customers’ expectations. Despite a considerable number of applications and monitoring methods already proposed for pr...

The define–measure–analyze–improve–control (DMAIC) approach is a five-strata approach, namely DMAIC. This approach is the scientific approach for reducing the deviations and improving the capability levels of the manufacturing processes. The present work elaborates on DMAIC approach applied in reducing the process variations of the stub-end-hole boring operation of the manufacture of cra...
