Process capability of a process is defined as inherent variability of a process which is running under chance cause of variation only. Process capability index is measuring the ability of a process to meet the product specification limit. Generally process capability is measured by 6 assuming that the product characteristic follows Normal distribution. In many practical situations the product ...

The manufacturing operations often involve multistage processes where the process capability of each stage is affected by the process capability of its precedent processes. This property is known as the cascade property. The purpose of this paper is to estimate the process capability of the second stage of two-stage process while the cascade property impact is removed using residuals analysis. ...

A process is a unique combination of manpower, machines, methods and materials in providing a product or service. Process capability indices have been used in the manufacturing industry to provide quantitative measures of process potential and performance. High quality production provides advantages such as cost saving, reduced scrap or remanufacturing, higher yield and increased customer satis...

Process capability analysis is an important aspect of quality control. Various process capability indices are proposed when the distribution is normal. For non-normal cases, percentile and yield-based indices have been introduced. These two methods use partial features of a process distribution, such as key percentiles and the proportion of non-conforming (PNC) to estimate the process capabilit...

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...
