Process capability indices provide numerical measures on whether a process conforms to the defined manufacturing capability prerequisite. These have been successfully applied by companies to compete with and to lead high-profit markets by evaluating the quality and productivity performance. The loss-based process capability index Cpm, sometimes called the Taguchi index, was proposed to measure ...

Process capability is an important concept for industrial managers to understand. The challenge in today’s competitive markets is to be on the leading edge of producing high quality products at minimum costs. This cannot be done without a systematic approach and this approach is contained within what has been called “statistical quality control” or “industrial statistics.” The segment of statis...

In the competitive global business environment, enterprises should effectively respond to and satisfy customer needs. Outsourcing manufacturing is an effective method of adjusting the flexibility of production capability. To ensure final product quality, evaluating and selecting a contract manufacturer is essential. Process capability indices are extensively adopted in manufacturing to determin...

In this research, we propose to use the smooth adaptive estimator to estimate the process mean. Since the smooth adaptive estimator is robust for non-normal processes and outliers, it can be used in the estimator of the Process Capability Indices (PCIs). The resulting indices are called smooth adaptive PCIs, which will also be robust estimators. We simu late extensively the biases and mean squa...

rangelands are important for plant productivity, livestock production, wildlife,conservation of soil and water resources, and etc. one of the main problem of rangeland isthat has not been used based on its potential that leads to more degradation of rangelands.the purpose of this study was to evaluate the range management capability of badrehregion in ilam province, iran, using anp (analytic ne...

Process Capability: Definition and standard evaluation: Process Capability tells you, to what extent the process is likely to satisfy the customer's wish. Standard Process Capability calculations assume 99.73% coverage of the process mapped as σ 3 ± x. Where x is the process mean σ is the process standard deviation. The standard evaluation of Process Capability Indices Cp & Cpk is given by the ...

Acceptance sampling plan is a method to make decision on either accepting or rejecting a specific lot or more generally to inspect the quality of products that can be used by different methods. Along with this, one suitable measure to improve manufacturing processes is to analyze process capability indices. These indices have many applications in production environments. In this paper, a repeti...

The SEI’s Capability Maturity Model for Software has popularized the notion of measuring the software process maturity of organizations. ISO’s SPICE project is currently creating a set of international standards for software process management that harmonize existing approaches. One of the objectives is to create a way of measuring process capability, while not using a specific approach such as...
