Process capability indices show the ability of a process to produce products according to the pre-specified requirements. Since final quality characteristics of a product are usually interrelated to its previous amounts in earlier workstations, one need to model and consider the relationship among them to assess the process ca-pability properly. Hence, conducting process capability analysis in ...

It has been proved that process capability indices provide very efficient measures of the capability of processes from many different perspectives. These indices have been widely used in the manufacturing industry for measuring process reproduction capability according to manufacturing specifications. In the past few years, univariate capability indices have been introduced and used to characte...

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...

Process capability indices such as Cp, Cpk, Cpu and Cpl are common metrics to evaluate and predict the performance of a process. Although higher process capability indices indicate higher process “quality”, but a high quality process does not necessarily guarantee the fewer rates of rejects. Therefore, a process capability index based on rate of rejects or real losses is more reliable and prope...
