Process Capability: - Comparison of Performance of The Process and Its Specification

The document discusses process capability and different indices used to evaluate a production process's ability to meet specifications. It defines process capability ratio (Cp) as a measure of how wide the process operating range is compared to the specification limits. A higher Cp indicates a process is more capable of meeting specifications. It then calculates Cp for an insurance claims process example. The document also introduces process capability index (Cpk), which considers how centered the process mean is within the specification limits. Cpk is calculated as the minimum distance from the mean to the closest specification limit in units of standard deviation. An example calculation for a new cutting machine shows it has a Cpk below 1, indicating it is not capable.
