Process Capability
Refers to the uniformity of the process.
Variability in the process is a measure of the uniformity of the output.
- Instantaneous variability is the natural orinherent variability at a specified time
- Variability over time
3
Process Capability
A critical performance measure that addressesprocess results relative to process/productspecifications.
A capable process is one for which the processoutputs meet or exceed expectation.
4
Process capability indices are used to measure theprocess variability due to common causes presentin the process
• The Cp indexInherent or potential measure of capability
specification spread process spread
• The CpK indexRealized or actual measure of capability
• Other indicesCpM, CpMK

Measures of Process Capability
Customary to use the six sigma spread in thedistribution of the product quality characteristic

Key Points
The proportion of the process output that will falloutside the natural tolerance limits.
• Is 0.27% (or 2700 nonconforming parts per million)if the distribution is normal
• May differ considerably from 0.27% if thedistribution is not normal

Example
To illustrate the use of the one sided process capability ratios, suppose that the lower specificationlimit on bursting strength is 200 psi. We will use x = 264 and S = 32 as estimates of and , respectively, and the resulting estimate of the onesided lower process capability ratio is

Example
The fraction of defective bottles produced by thisprocess is estimated by finding the area to the leftof Z = (LSL - )/ = (200 - 264)/32 = -2 underthe standard normal distribution. The estimatedfallout is about 2.28% defective, or about 22,800nonconforming bottles per million. Note that if thenormal distribution were an inappropriate model for strength, then this last calculation would have to be performed using the appropriate probabilitydistribution.

The Chi-Squared Model
Remarks:
The Chi-Squared distribution plays a vital role in statistical inference. It has considerable application in bothmethodology and theory. It is an important component ofstatistical hypothesis testing and estimation.
The Chi-Squared distribution is a special case of theGamma distribution, i.e., when = /2 and = 2.

Properties of the Chi-Squared Model

• Standard Deviation
24
Properties of the Chi-Squared Model
It is customary to let 2 represent the value above
which we find an area of p. This is illustrated by the shaded region below.
For tabulated values of the Chi-Squared distribution see the
Chi-Squared table, which gives values of 2 for various values
of p and . The areas, p, are the column headings; the degrees
of freedom, , are given in the left column, and the table entries
are the 2 values.

This is an extremely wide confidence interval. Based on the sample data, the ratio CpK could be less than one (a very bad situation), or it could be as large as 1.67 (a very good situation). Thus, we have learned very little about the actual process capability, because CpK is very imprecisely estimated. The reason for this is that a very small sample (n = 20) has been used.

Testing Hypotheses About PCR’s
A practice that is becoming increasingly common in industry is to require a supplier to demonstrate process capability as part of the contractualagreement. Thus, it is frequently necessary todemonstrate that the process capability ratio Cp meets or exceeds some particular target value - say, Cp0. This problem may be formulated as a hypothesis testing problem.
H0: Cp = Cp0 (or the process is not capable)H1: Cp > Cp0 (or the process is capable)

Testing Hypotheses About PCR’s
We would like to reject H0, thereby demonstratingthat the process is capable. We can formulate thestatistical test in terms of Cp, so that we will rejectH0, if Cp exceeds a critical value C.
^^
31
Example
A customer has told his supplier that, in order toqualify for business with his company, the suppliermust demonstrate that his process capability exceeds Cp = 1.33. Thus his supplier is interestedin establishing a procedure to test the hypothesis.
H0: Cp = 1.33H1: Cp > 1.33
The supplier wants to be sure that if the processcapability is below 1.33 there will be a high probability of detecting this (say, 0.90), whereas ifthe process capability exceeds 1.66 there will be ahigh probability of judging the process capable
32
Example
again (say, 0.90). This would imply that Cp(low) =1.33, Cp(high) = 1.66 and = = 0.10. To findthe sample size and critical value C from the table,compute
and enter the table value where = = 0.10. Thisyields n = 70 and

Testing Hypotheses
In many situations the reason for gathering and analyzing data is to provide a basis for deciding on a course of action. Let us assume that either of two courses of action is possible: A1 or A2, and that we would be clear whether one or the other is the better action, if only we knew the nature of a certain population - that is, if we knew the probability distribution of a certain random variable.
35
Testing Hypotheses
The whole population or the distribution of probability is usually unattainable, therefore, we are forced to settle for such information as can be gleaned from a sample and to make our choice between the two actions on the basis of the sample.
1. Obtain random sample of size n2. Apply decision rule to data
36
Testing Hypotheses
Statistical Hypothesis - is a statement about a probability distribution and is usually a statement about the values of one or more parameters of the distribution. For example, a company maywant to test the hypothesis that the true average lifetime of a certain type of TV is at least 500 hours, i.e., that 500.
37
Testing Hypotheses
The hypothesis to be tested is called the null hypothesis and is denoted by H0. To construct a criterion for testing a given null hypothesis, analternate hypothesis must be formulated, denoted by H1.
Remark: To test the validity of a statistical hypothesis the test is conducted, and according to the test plan the hypothesis is rejected if the results are improbable under the hypothesis. If not, the hypothesis is accepted. The test leads to one of two possible actions: accept H0 or reject H0 (accept H1)
38
Testing Hypotheses
Test Statistic - The statistic upon which a test of a statistical hypothesis is based.
Critical Region - The range of values of a test statistic which, for a given test, requires the rejection of H0.
Remark: Acceptance or rejection of a statistical hypothesis does not prove nor disprove the hypothesis! Whenever a statistical hypothesis is accepted or rejected on the basis of a sample, there is always the risk of making a wrong decision. The uncertainty with which a decision is made is measured in terms of probability.
39
Testing Hypotheses
There are two possible decision errors associated with testing a statistical hypothesis:
A Type I error is made when a true hypothesis is rejected.
A Type II error is made when a false hypothesis is accepted.
True SituationDecision H0 true H0 falseAccept H0 correct Type II errorReject H0 Type I error correct(Accept H1)

Uses of Results from a Process Capability Analysis
1. Predicting how well the process will hold thetolerances.
2. Assisting product developers/designers in selecting or modifying a process.
3. Assisting in establishing an interval between sampling for process monitoring.
4. Specifying performance requirements for newequipment
5. Selecting between competing vendors.6. Planning the sequence of production processes
when there is an interactive effect on processes or tolerances.
7. Reducing the variability in a manufacturing process.
