Advanced Process Capability Training
Learners will be able to:
- Conduct a process capability study using the best approach for the given process.
- Address complications that often happen with process capability studies.
- Use the process capability study improve the process and reduce its inherent variation.
About This Course
Process Capability Study is a tool used to determine if a stable process is capable of meeting a customer’s specification. Process capability is based on statistical techniques that are used to predict the complete output of a process based on a relatively small sample. There are different ways to measure process capability including the capability ratio, capability index and the Cpk. The Cpk is the most commonly used measure of process capability because it not only determines if the process is capable is meeting the spec, but it also predicts how well the process is centered on the nominal of the specification.
This course covers how to conduct a process capability study, take action to improve capability and deal with complications in interpreting and analyzing capability measures.
- A good understanding of statistical measures of variation including standard deviation.
- Ability to calculate capability ratio, capability index and Cpk.
- Successful completion of Basic SPC or the equivalent.
