7-1. Introduction

• • Process capability

Variability

refers to the uniformity of the process.

in the process is a measure of the uniformity of output .

• Two types of variability: – Natural or inherent variability (instantaneous) – Variability over time • Assume that a process involves a quality characteristic that follows a normal distribution with mean  , and standard deviation,  . The upper and lower natural tolerance limits of the process are UNTL =  LNTL =  + 3  - 3  Introduction to Statistical Quality Control, 4th Edition

7-1. Introduction

Process capability analysis

is an engineering study to estimate process capability.

• In a product characterization study, the distribution of the quality characteristic is estimated.

7-2. Process Capability Analysis Using a Histogram or a Probability Plot

7-2.1 Using a Histogram

– – – The

histogram

along with the sample mean and sample standard deviation provides information about process capability.

The process capability can be estimated as x  3 s The shape of the histogram can be determined (such as if it follows a normal distribution) Histograms provide immediate, visual impression of process performance.

Introduction to Statistical Quality Control, 4th Edition

7-2.2 Probability Plotting

• • – – –

Probability plotting

is useful for Determining the shape of the distribution Determining the center of the distribution Determining the spread of the distribution.

– Recall normal probability plots (Chapter 2) The mean of the distribution is given by the 50 th percentile – The standard deviation is estimated by  84 th percentile – 50 th percentile Introduction to Statistical Quality Control, 4th Edition

7-2.2 Probability Plotting

• •

Cautions in the use of normal probability plots

If the data do not come from the assumed distribution, inferences about process capability drawn from the plot may be in error.

Probability plotting is not an objective procedure (two analysts may arrive at different conclusions).

7-3. Process Capability Ratios

7-3.1 Use and Interpretation of C p

Recall C p  USL  6  LSL where LSL and USL are the lower and upper specification limits, respectively.

Introduction to Statistical Quality Control, 4th Edition

C pu C pl   USL     3  LSL 3  These indices are used for upper specification and lower specification limits, respectively Introduction to Statistical Quality Control, 4th Edition

7-3.1 Use and Interpretation of C p Assumptions

The quantities presented here (C p , C pu , C lu ) have some very

critical

assumptions: 1.

The quality characteristic has a normal distribution.

2.

3.

The process is in statistical control In the case of two-sided specifications, the process mean is centered between the lower and upper specification limits.

If any of these assumptions are violated, the resulting quantities may be in error.

Introduction to Statistical Quality Control, 4th Edition

7-3.2 Process Capability Ratio an Off-Center Process

• • C p does not take into account where the process mean is

located

relative to the specifications.

A process capability ratio that does take into account centering is C pk defined as C pk = min(C pu , C pl ) Introduction to Statistical Quality Control, 4th Edition

7-3.3 Normality and the Process Capability Ratio

• • The normal distribution of the process output is an important assumption.

If the distribution is nonnormal, Luceno (1996) introduced the index, C pc , defined as C pc  6 USL  E  LSL X  T 2 Introduction to Statistical Quality Control, 4th Edition

7-3.3 Normality and the Process Capability Ratio

• A capability ratio involving quartiles of the process distribution is given by C p ( q )  USL  LSL x 0 .

99865  x 0 .

00135 • In the case of the normal distribution C p (q) reduces to C p Introduction to Statistical Quality Control, 4th Edition

7-3.4 More About Process Centering

• • C pk should not be used alone as an measure of process centering.

C pk depends inversely on  large as  approaches zero. and becomes (That is, a large value of C pk does not necessarily reveal anything about the location of the mean in the interval (LSL, USL) Introduction to Statistical Quality Control, 4th Edition

7-3.4 More About Process Centering

• An improved capability ratio to measure process centering is C pm .

C pm  USL  6  LSL where  is the squre root of expected squared deviation from target: T =½(USL+LSL),  2  E   x  T  2    2  (   T ) 2 Introduction to Statistical Quality Control, 4th Edition

7-3.4 More About Process Centering

C pm can be rewritten another way: C pm  6 USL  2   (  LSL  T ) 2  C p 1   2 where   T    Introduction to Statistical Quality Control, 4th Edition

7-3.4 More About Process Centering

A logical estimate of C pm is: ˆ pm  p 1  V 2 where V  T  x S Introduction to Statistical Quality Control, 4th Edition

7-3.4 More About Process Centering

Consider two processes A and B.

For process A: C pm  C p 1   2  1 .

7-4. Process Capability Analysis Using a Control Chart

• • • If a process exhibits statistical control, then the process capability analysis can be conducted. A process can exhibit statistical control, but may not be capable .

PCRs can be calculated using the process mean and process standard deviation estimates.
