Course Highlights

Quantify Your Process Performance to Meet Specifications Consistently


In any manufacturing or service environment, understanding whether a process can consistently meet customer requirements is fundamental to quality assurance. Process Capability Measurement (PCM) is a statistical technique used to evaluate how well a stable process can produce output within specified tolerance limits. This focused course provides a clear, practical understanding of key capability indices, empowering you to quantify process performance, identify improvement opportunities, and make data-driven decisions to reduce variation and defects.


What You Will Learn

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

  • Define Process Capability and Process Performance and understand the prerequisites for a valid study.

  • Distinguish between Cp, Cpk, Pp, and Ppk indices and know when to use each one.

  • Calculate basic capability indices and interpret their values to assess process performance.

  • Understand the critical link between process stability, normal distribution, and capability analysis.

  • Identify the causes of poor capability and translate the results into actionable improvement strategies.

  • Recognize the limitations and assumptions behind process capability analysis.


Course Curriculum

The course is structured into targeted modules for practical application:

  • Module 1: The Foundation: Understanding Variation and Specification Limits

  • Module 2: The Capability Indices: Calculating and Interpreting Cp, Cpk, Pp, Ppk

  • Module 3: From Data to Decisions: Applying PCM for Continuous Improvement
