This module is a thorough discussion of all known capability measures covering variables and attributes data and including machine capability studies. Also included is a discussion of capability measures for special situations, a commonly neglected, overlooked and/or misunderstood scenario in capability studies.
COURSE OBJECTIVES : At the end of the course, participants are expected to:
ß Understand the practical significance of process capability;
ß Differentiate among the different types of capability measures;
ß Be able to select and use the appropriate capability measures; and
ß Utilize the capability measures to come up with sound process improvements
TARGET PARTICIPANTS: Engineering, quality, manufacturing and supplier quality managers and engineers / supervisors who plan and run capability studies, analyze measures of capability, assess the outcome of process modifications, and make machine scheduling decisions.
