Difference between Process Capability (Cp) and Process Capability Index (Cpk)

Difference between Process Capability (Cp) and Process Capability Index (Cpk)

Statistical Process Control (SPC) metrics like Cp and Cpk are crucial for assessing and maintaining the quality of manufacturing processes.   Cp (Process Capability) measures the potential capability of a process to produce output within specified limits, indicating how well the process can meet specifications when it is centered.    Cpk (Process Capability Index) considers…

Process Capability and Continual Improvement in QbD

Process Capability and Continual Improvement in QbD

Process capability measures the inherent variability of a stable process that is in a state of statistical control in relation to the established acceptance criteria.    Calculations based on the inherent variability due to common cause of a stable process (i.e., in a state of statistical control) result in process capability (Cp and Cpk) indices….

Process Capability and Performance Indicators (Pp, Ppk, Cp, Cpk)

Process Capability and Performance Indicators (Pp, Ppk, Cp, Cpk)

Process Capability & Performance Indicators (Pp, Ppk, Cp, Cpk) are specification indicators relative to process dispersion and process centering.   Process capability is a statistical measurement of a process’s ability to produce parts within specified limits consistently, to meet the design specification for a service or a product.   Process capability is expressed as 6σ,…
