Estimates what the process is capable of producing, considering that the process mean may not be centered between the specification limits. (If the process mean is not centered, ^ overestimates process capability.) ^ < if the process mean falls outside of the specification limits. Assumes process output is approximately normally distributed.
Statistical process control defines techniques to properly differentiate between stable processes, processes that are drifting (experiencing a long-term change in the mean of the output), and processes that are growing more variable. Process capability indices are only meaningful for processes that are stable (in a state of statistical control).
Consider a quality characteristic with a target of 100.00 μm and upper and lower specification limits of 106.00 μm and 94.00 μm, respectively. If, after carefully monitoring the process for a while, it appears that the process is out of control and producing output unpredictably (as depicted in the run chart below), one can't meaningfully estimate its mean and standard deviation.
Six Sigma (6σ) is a set of techniques and tools for process improvement.It was introduced by American engineer Bill Smith while working at Motorola in 1986. [1] [2]Six Sigma strategies seek to improve manufacturing quality by identifying and removing the causes of defects and minimizing variability in manufacturing and business processes.
A 95% confidence level does not mean that 95% of the sample data lie within the confidence interval. A 95% confidence level does not mean that there is a 95% probability of the parameter estimate from a repeat of the experiment falling within the confidence interval computed from a given experiment.

[11] [12] [13] Levels in the third trimester can be as much as 2-fold greater than in non-pregnant women. [11] As a result, ALP is not a reliable marker of hepatic function in pregnant women. [11] In contrast to ALP, levels of ALT, AST, GGT, and lactate dehydrogenase are only slightly changed or largely unchanged during pregnancy. [11]
A 24-year-old woman was admitted to the UCLA emergency room with a serum alcohol content of 1.51%, corresponding to a blood alcohol content of 1.33%. She was alert and oriented to person and place and survived. [48] Serum alcohol concentration is not equal to nor calculated in the same way as blood alcohol content. [49] Survived 1984 1.50
Pennsylvania (/ ˌ p ɛ n s ɪ l ˈ v eɪ n i ə / ⓘ PEN-sil-VAY-nee-ə, lit. ' Penn's forest country '), officially the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania [b] (Pennsylvania Dutch: Pennsilfaani), [7] is a state spanning the Mid-Atlantic, Northeastern, Appalachian, and Great Lakes regions of the United States.
