PROCESS CAPABILITY

 Process capability is defined as a statistical measure of the


inherent process variability of a given characteristic. ou can
use a process-capability study to assess the ability of a
process to meet specifications.
 You can use a process-capability study to assess the ability
WHAT IS PROCESS of a process to meet specifications.
CAPABILITY
 During a quality improvement initiative, such as Lean Six
Sigma, a capability estimate is typically obtained at the start
and end of the study to reflect the level of improvement that
occurred.
 Tools and techniques:

A comprehensive set of tools and analytical


techniques that are used to identify and solve
problems.
 Process and methodology

THREE KEY A series of phases that organize the use of the


ELEMENTS TO LEAN problem-solving tools to ensure that the true
SIX SIGMA root causes are found and that a solution is fully
implemented.
 Mindset and culture

Way of thinking that relies on data and processes


to achieve operational performance goals and
continuously improve.
 Potential capability (Cp) and actual capability during
production (Cpk) are process capability estimates.
POTENTIAL CAPABILITY  Cp and Cpk show how capable a process is of meeting its
AND ACTUAL CAPABILITY
DURING PRODUCTION
specification limits, used with continuous data.
