Overview: Process capability and process performance index studies are to assess a process relative to specification criteria. Quantification of this measurement is often reported using units Cp, Cpk, Pp, and/or Ppk. Statisticians often challenge how well commonly used capability indices do this; however, the fact remains customers often request these indices when communicating with their suppliers. A customer might set process capability/performance targets then ask their suppliers for their level of conformance to these targets. This article presents a process of integrating measurements with process improvement activities.
