FAQ
What is process capability?
Process capability measures how well a process can produce outputs that meet specified limits, indicating its inherent variability.
How do I calculate Cp and Cpk?
Cp is calculated using the formula (USL - LSL) / (6 * standard deviation), while Cpk considers the process mean and its distance from specification limits.
What is the difference between short-term and long-term capability?
Short-term capability assesses performance at a specific moment, while long-term capability evaluates performance over an extended period, accounting for shifts in the process mean.
Why is statistical control important?
Statistical control ensures that process variation is predictable, allowing for accurate capability assessments and effective quality management.
What are common sources of variation in processes?
Sources of variation can include chronic mean shifts, acute mean shifts, and changes in variation within subgroups.
How can I improve my process capability?
Improving process capability involves identifying and reducing sources of variation, implementing quality management strategies, and continuously monitoring performance.
What does a 6-sigma process mean?
A 6-sigma process has minimal variation, producing only 3.4 defects per million opportunities, indicating high-quality performance.
How do I interpret process capability results?
Interpreting results involves analyzing Cp and Cpk values to determine if the process meets customer specifications and identifying areas for improvement.
