Course Description

Process Capability Analysis

Capability analysis is a computational method for comparing the output of a manufacturing process to its engineered specification limits. It’s also an essential set of tools for new process development, 6-sigma projects, Statistical Process Control, and process monitoring. This set of tools can be applied to product characteristics such as its size, weight and hardness, or to process characteristics such as temperature, voltage or flow. This class, “Process Capability Analysis” starts at the beginning of how manufacturing processes are developed and analyzed. It moves on to the basic concepts of capability analysis along with-it applications and math (both “on paper” and in Excel). You will learn how to analyze capability data for a population, for a sample drawn from a population, and from the data found on control charts. At the end, you will also learn more advanced topics such as dealing with one-sided tolerances and an alternate capability index call Cpm. Plus, you’ll receive all the Excel templates and “cheat sheets” you’ll need to apply this to your manufacturing projects. By the end of this course, you will have a thorough understanding of capability analysis, and be able to apply these tools broadly across a wide range of production problems. Also, if you are studying for your ASQ CQE, CQT or CQIA exams, this is essential material. I carefully explained the difference between Cpk and Ppk, between analyzing a population and a sample, and how to interpret your capability analysis results; all critical elements on these exams.
