    Process capability Specification & Control ( tolerance) limits :- they are often used interchangeably Defined as : Limits that defines conformance boundaries for an individual unit of a manufacturing or service operations. | (tolerance ) limit emesis ey They are more appropriate for generally preferred in evaluating the categorizing materials ,products or manufacturing or service requirements services in terms of stated requirements They are influenced by need of the They are determined by condition of customer process and its natural variability Specifications includes all requirements Tolerances pertains to physical requirements e.g. one specification for building crane is a hoist load of S000 +300kg. to satisfy this criterion the diameter of steel cable has to be 4 + 0.2 em When cable is manufactured then capability of process decides the tolerances like 4.01 +0.21cm General tolerance are of subset of specification Process capability Presents 1) Performance of a process ina state of statistical control 2) It is measure of uniformity of a quality characteristics of interests 3) acommon measure of process capability is given by 06, which is also called the process spread Benefits of process capability analysis: 1) Uniformity of output 2) Maintained or improved quality 3) Product or process design facilitated 4) Assistance in vendor selection and control 5) Reduction in total cost. 1) 2) 3) Process capability indices They used to determine whether the given natural variation is in capable of meeting standard specification or not It is also measure of manufacturability of the product with the given process They can be used to compare product /process matches and identify poorest which can be later targeted for improvement. Cp Index A common measure for describing the potential of a process to meet specifications. It relates the allowable spread of the specifications limits( difference between USL & LSL ) to the measure of actual or natural variation of process, represented by six sigma USL — LSL Process capability index = a6 Processes are evaluated by using Cp as given Cp <0.67 0.67 1 a | u Measure of process potential Measure of actual process performance Does not change as process mean (Changes as process mean changes change Cp2 idesirable Cpk 2 1 desirable Cp <1 Process is not capable Cpk <1 performance of process is poor Pok Ppk is an index of process performance which tells how well a system is meeting specifications . ... If Ppk is 1.0, the system is producing 99.73% of its output within specifications. The larger the Ppk, the less the variation between process output and specifications. So the key takeaway is that Cpk is the potential of a process to meet a specification (short term) while Ppk is how the process actually did (long term). Another way to look at the difference is that Cpk is used for a subgroup of data, while Ppk is used for the whole process. Process Mean close to USL If your Process Mean (central tendency) is closer to the USL, use: Ppk = [ USL—x(bar) ] / 3s, where x(bar) is the Process Mean. Another way to look at the difference is that Cpk is used for a subgroup of data, while Ppk is used for the whole process. Cpk is typically used while processing in the ideal conditions to identify if the process is capable of meeting the specifications. If we look at the formulas for Cpk and Ppk for normal (distribution) process capability, we can see they are nearly identical: The only difference lies in the denominator for the Upper and Lower statistics: Cpk is calculated using the WITHIN standard deviation, while Ppk uses the OVERALL standard deviation Cpk is sometimes referred to as the short-term capability. With Ppk, the calculated standard deviation is used. This includes all the data at one time in the calculation. Ppk is sometimes called the long-term capability.
