Ch06 Process Capability

The document outlines an agenda for quality control training over two weeks. Week 10 will review homework assignments and introduce process capability analysis to determine how well a process meets specifications. Week 11 will cover other variable control charts, probability, and assigning process capability indices to quantify a process's ability to produce within specifications. Students are given homework problems and readings to complete.

Process Capability

Defining process capability

Process capability refers to the ability of the process to meet the specifications set by the customer or designer.

Process Capability

Process capability analysis

Objective is to determine how well the output from a process meets specification limits Compare total process variation and tolerance.

Individual values compared with averages

When distributions of averages are compared to distributions of individual values, the averages are grouped closer to the center value than are the individual values, as described by the central limit theorem. What does this imply for averages in control limits versus individual values in specification limits?
Process Capability

Estimation of population sigma from sample data

The relationship between the standard deviation for individual values and the standard deviation for their averages is given by the formula:

x n

Where n = subgroup sample size

Process Capability

To simplify calculation

If the process can be assumed to be normal, the population standard deviation can be estimated from either the standard deviation associated with the sample standard deviation or the range:

Process Capability

Control limits and specification limits

Xbar charts do not reflect how widely the individual values composing the plotting averages spread. The spread can only be seen by observing what is happening on the s or r chart.

Process Capability

The Six sigma spread versus specification limits

Case I: 6 < USL - LSL

Most desirable; individual values fall within specification limits Okay, as long as the process remains in control Undesirable; process incapable of meeting specifications
Process Capability

Case II: 6 = USL - LSL

Case III: 6 > USL - LSL

Calculating process capability indices

Process capability indices: ratios that quantify the ability of a process to produce within specifications See examples - pages 318 - 320
