Statistical Process Control and Adjustment using Process Incapability Index

공정비능력지수를 이용한 통계적 공정관리와 조정

The process capability indices have been widely used in manufacturing industries to provide numerical measures of process potential and performance. This study is concerned with process controls and adjustments by incapability index $C_{pp}$ and its sub-indices. A monitoring for $\^{C}_{pp}$ would provide a convenient way to monitor changes on process capability after statistical control is established, since $C_{pp}$ simultaneously measures process variability and centering. Further, we can separate charting of process location and variability by sub-indices of $C_{pp}$, ($C_{ia}$, $C_{ip}$), without returning to $\={x}$-R chart, even though an out-of-control signals on $\^{C}_{pp}$ control chart is found.
