SPC

The document discusses process capability and performance analysis. It defines process capability indices like Cp and Cpk that measure a process's ability to meet specifications, and process performance indices like Pp and Ppk that measure how a process is currently performing against specifications. It provides formulas to calculate these indices and interpret what they indicate about a process's capability and whether it is meeting specifications. The document also discusses control charts, their limitations, and terms used in process capability analysis.

TARGET

SPECIFICATION LIMITS
The engineering requirements for judging the acceptability
of a characteristic as defined by the CUSTOMER
The `SPEC is made up of two parts
the AIM or TARGET and the TOLERANCE.
PROCESS LIMITS
Process limits are calculated from the process
data and help us determine spread ( statistically )

DEFINITION: PROCESS CAPABILITY
A Process Capability Index is a number which expresses
the ability of a process to meet specifications
- Potential Capability Index (C
p
)
- Actual Capability Index (C
pk)
A Process Performance Index is a number which expresses
how a process is currently performing versus the specifications
- Potential Performance Index (P
p
)
- Actual Performance Index (P
pK
)
A Process Capability and Performance Analysis will
determine whether a process is capable of meeting
specifications and whether or not it is actually meeting
specifications.

CONTROL CHART CAUTIONS
Control Charts only tell whether a process
characteristic is consistent and predictable over
time.
They do not tell if the process is meeting
specification

C
pk
= The smaller of the two values (C

If C

< 1, there are units outside the specification limits; this includes
negative values of C
pk

If C

< C

PROCESS PERFORMANCE
MEASURES
Process capability measures only describe the
performance of a process if it is maintained in
statistical control. If a process is not consistent,
then C
p

pk
will not adequately reflect process
output.
