The process capability index, or process capability ratio, is a statistical measure of process capability: the ability of an engineering process to produce an output within specification limits. [1] The concept of process capability only holds meaning for processes that are in a state of statistical control. This means it cannot account for ...
The process capability is a measurable property of a process to the specification, expressed as a process capability index (e.g., C pk or C pm) or as a process performance index (e.g., P pk or P pm). The output of this measurement is often illustrated by a histogram and calculations that predict how many parts will be produced out of ...
Once a process is put into a state of statistical control, process capability is described using process capability indices, which are formulaically identical to P pk (and P p). [disputed – discuss] The indices are named differently in order to call attention to whether the process under study is believed to be in control or not.
A process capability analysis may be performed on a stable process to predict the ability of the process to produce "conforming product" in the future. A stable process can be demonstrated by a process signature that is free of variances outside of the capability index. A process signature is the plotted points compared with the capability index.
Process capability is the ability of a process to produce output within specified limits. [1] To help determine whether a manufacturing or business process is in a state of statistical control, process engineers use control charts, which help to predict the future performance of the process based on the current process.
Control charts are graphical plots used in production control to determine whether quality and manufacturing processes are being controlled under stable conditions. (ISO 7870-1) [1] The hourly status is arranged on the graph, and the occurrence of abnormalities is judged based on the presence of data that differs from the conventional trend or deviates from the control limit line.
The suite of documents associated with a particular version of the CMMI includes a requirements specification called the Appraisal Requirements for CMMI (ARC), [2] which specifies three levels of formality for appraisals: Class A, B, and C. Formal (Class A) SCAMPIs are conducted by SEI-authorized Lead Appraisers who use the SCAMPI A Method Definition Document (MDD) [3] to conduct the appraisals.
Capability to produce the technology in a laboratory environment. Required investments, such as manufacturing technology development identified. Processes to ensure manufacturability, producibility and quality are in place and are sufficient to produce technology demonstrators. Manufacturing risks identified for prototype build.
