A note on a multivariate analogue of the process capability index Cp
نویسندگان
چکیده
A simple method is given to calculate the multivariate process capability index Cp * as defined by Taam et al. (1993) and discussed by Kotz & Johnson (1993). It is shown that using this index is equivalent to using the smallest univariate Cp -value to determine the capability of a process.

Estimating process capability indices using ridge regression
Process capability indices show the ability of a process to produce products according to the pre-specified requirements. Since final quality characteristics of a product are usually interrelated to its previous amounts in earlier workstations, one need to model and consider the relationship among them to assess the process ca-pability properly. Hence, conducting process capability analysis in ...

The Taguchi method is a useful technique to improve the performance of products or processes at a lower cost and in less time. This procedure can be categorized in the static and dynamic quality characteristics. The optimization of multiple responses has received increasing attention over the last few years in many manufacturing organizations. Several approaches dealing with multiple static q...

The production of a process is expected to meet customer demands, specifications or engineering tolerances. The ability of a process to meet these expectations is expresed as a single number using a process capability index. When the quality of the products relates to more than one characteristic, multivariate process capability indices are applied. As it is known, in some circumstances we are ...
متن کاملMultivariate process capability indices on the presence of priority for quality characteristics
Multivariate Process Capability Indices (MPCI) show how well a manufacturing process can meet specifica-tion limits when quality characteristics enclose a relative correlation. Process capability is an important and commonly used metric for assessing and improving the quality of a production process. When quality charac-teristics of a product are correlated then an attractive comes close to MPC...
