Backlight application specializes in supplying light, with notable examples including liquid crystal display (LCD), hand-phone LCD, and PDA LCD. The integrated process capability and integrated process yield for cold cathode fluorescent lamp backlight are unknown. Process capability analysis is a highly effective means of assessing the process ability of backlight that meets specifications. A l...

Process capability analysis is designed to estimate the proportion of parts that do not meet engineering requirements in a stable production process. In this paper, we review and criticize the capability indices typically used in industry for this purpose, and propose a general multivariate Bayesian capability index which contains the conventional index as a limiting case. We further derive its...

The concept of process capability was proposed in early 1970 with the introduction of ‘capability ratio’ by Juran, a world known quality expert. Thereafter almost 40 years have been passed and many indices such as Cp, Cpk and Cpm were developed for measuring process performance. However, many researchers, for example, Kotz and Johnson [1-2] raised concerns about the application of the diversifi...

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...

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...
