1 Chapter 55 Introducton Ths procedure summarzes the performance of a process based on user-specfed specfcaton lmts. The observed performance as well as the performance relatve to the Normal dstrbuton are output. Process capablty ratos such as C p and C p are produced. C pm and C pm may also be generated f a specfcaton target s entered. A capablty hstogram wth specfcaton lmt lnes may also be produced n ths procedure. Normalty Tests are also gven n ths procedure. Subgroup data or ndvdual values may be used. Capablty analyss, or process capablty analyss, s the comparson of the dstrbuton of sample values to the specfcaton lmts, and possbly also the specfcaton target. One basc measure of the capablty of the process s the proporton of values fallng nsde (or outsde) the specfcaton lmts. Another measure of capablty s the proporton of values that would fall nsde (or outsde) the specfcaton lmts f the data are assumed to follow the normal dstrbuton. Several capablty ratos, or capablty ndces, have been developed to summarze how well the process yelds measurements wthn the specfcaton lmts. Those produced n ths procedure are C p, C p, C pm, and C pm. C pm and C pm addtonally tae nto account the nearness of the process to the specfcaton target. Process data are typcally gathered as samples or ndvdual measurements taen from the process at gven tmes (hours, shfts, days, wees, months, etc.). If more than one value s taen at a tme, the measurements of the samples at a gven tme consttute a subgroup. 55-1

2 Typcally, an ntal seres of subgroups or ndvdual values s used to estmate the mean and standard devaton of a process. The mean and standard devaton can then be used to estmate the capablty of the process. Because the assumpton of normalty s ntegral to the usefulness of the summares, an mportant part of capablty analyss s determnng whether the data follow a Normal dstrbuton, at least approxmately. Normalty tests and the capablty hstogram can be useful for nvestgatng ths assumpton. Other Procedures for Process Capablty Some of the other procedures n NCSS that may be useful for analyzng process capablty are X-bar and R (or s) charts, IM-R Charts, Descrptve Statstcs, Stem-and-Leaf Plots (for smaller samples), Normalty Tests, Outler Tests, Dstrbuton Fttng, Box-Cox Transformaton, and the Data Smulaton Tool. Process Capablty Formulas The formulas for estmatng the mean and sgma depend on whether the data s subgroup data or ndvdual value data. Estmatng the Mean Subgroup Data Suppose we have subgroups, each of sze n. Let x j represent the measurement n the j th sample of the th subgroup. The th subgroup mean s calculated usng The formula for the overall mean s x n n x j j= = 1, x n = 1 j= 1 = If the subgroups are of equal sze, the above equaton for the grand mean reduces to = 1 n x j. x = x = 1 x1 + x + + x =. Estmatng the Mean Indvdual Values Data Suppose we have ndvdual values. The estmate of the overall mean s gven by x x = =

3 Estmatng Sgma Subgroup Data In ths procedure, sgma can be entered drectly, or there are three optons for estmatng sgma from subgroup data: sample ranges, sample standard devatons, and the weghted approach. Suppose we have subgroups, each of sze n. Let x j represent the measurement n the j th sample of the th subgroup. Estmatng Sgma Subgroup Data Sample Ranges If the standard devaton (sgma) s to be estmated from the ranges, R, t s estmated as where R R = = 1 ( R) ˆ σ = E µ R d = = σ σ The calculaton of E(R) requres the nowledge of the underlyng dstrbuton of the x j s. Mang the assumpton that the x j s follow the normal dstrbuton wth constant mean and varance, the values for d are derved through the use of numercal ntegraton. It s mportant to note that the normalty assumpton s used and that the accuracy of ths estmate requres that ths assumpton be vald. In the procedure, ths calculaton s performed f Sgma Estmaton s set to From Data R-bar or s-bar Estmate, and Range or SD Estmaton s set to Range. Estmatng Sgma Subgroup Data Sample Standard Devatons If the standard devaton (sgma) s to be estmated from the standard devatons, t s estmated as where s s = = 1 ( s) ˆ σ = E µ s c 4 = = σ σ The calculaton of E(s) requres the nowledge of the underlyng dstrbuton of the x j s. Mang the assumpton that the x j s follow the normal dstrbuton wth constant mean and varance, the values for c 4 are obtaned from c 4 = R d s c 4 n Γ n 1 n 1 Γ In the procedure, ths calculaton s performed f Sgma Estmaton s set to From Data R-bar or s-bar Estmate, and Range or SD Estmaton s set to SD. 55-3

4 Estmatng Sgma Subgroup Data Weghted (SD) Approach When the sample sze s varable across subgroups, a weghted approach s recommended for estmatng sgma (Montgomery, 013): ( n 1) s = 1 ˆ σ = n = 1 In the procedure, ths calculaton s performed f Sgma Estmaton s set to From Data SD Approach. 1/ Estmatng Sgma Indvdual Values Data Suppose we have ndvdual values. There are two methods n ths procedure for estmatng sgma: movng ranges and overall sample standard devaton. Estmatng Sgma Indvdual Values Data Movng Ranges If there s only one observaton per tme pont, a movng range may be calculated by fndng the range of each value wth ts prevous value: R = x x 1 Then the standard devaton (sgma) s estmated from the ranges, R, n the same manner as for subgroup data, namely, where ˆ σ = R R = = 1 E( R) µ R d = = σ σ In the procedure, ths calculaton s performed f the data are ndvdual values data, and Sgma Estmaton s set to From Data R-bar or s-bar Estmate, and Range or SD Estmaton s set to Range. Estmatng Sgma Indvdual Values Data Overall Standard Devaton If there s only one observaton per tme pont, and the process s assumed to be n control, sgma may be estmated usng the sample standard devaton ( x x) = 1 ˆ σ = 1 In the procedure, ths calculaton s performed f the data are ndvdual values data, and f Sgma Estmaton s set to From Data SD Approach.

5 Process Capablty Ratos Several capablty rato formulas are presented below. Further detals may be found n Montgomery (013) and Ryan (011). Cp The process capablty rato C p s gven by USL LSL C p = 6σ where USL and LSL are the upper and lower specfcaton lmts, respectvely. An estmate of C p s produced by substtutng a sutable estmate of σ, namely σˆ. Confdence ntervals for Cp are gven as C C p lower p upper = C = C p p χ χ n 1, α / n 1 n 1,1 α / n 1 Cpl and Cpu The one-sded capablty ratos C pl and C pu are defned as and µ LSL C pl = 3σ µ C = ULS pu 3σ These are estmated by substtutng mean and standard devaton estmates. Cp C p s the lesser of C pl and C pu, or C = mn( C The lower and upper confdence lmts for C p reported n NCSS are gven by p pl, C pu ) C C = C p z1 p lower α / = C + z1 p upper p α / n 1 C p n( n 3) n 6 n 1 n 1 C p n( n 3) n 6 n

6 Cpm A capablty rato whch ncorporates the nearness to the specfcaton target s defned as C pm = USL LSL ( µ ) 6 σ + T where T refers to the specfcaton target. A sutable estmate of C pm s made by substtutng estmates of the mean and standard devaton. Cpm Smlarly to C pm, C pm also accounts for nearness to the specfcaton target: C p C pm = µ T 1 + σ where T refers to the specfcaton target. A sutable estmate of C pm s made by substtutng estmates of the mean and standard devaton. Data Structure In ths procedure, the data may be n any of three formats. The frst data structure opton s to have the data n several columns, wth one subgroup per row. Example dataset S1 S S3 S4 S

7 The second data structure opton uses one column for the response data, and ether a subgroup sze or a second column defnng the subgroups. Alternatve example dataset Response Subgroup In the alternatve example dataset, the Subgroup column s not needed f every subgroup s of sze 5 and the user specfes 5 as the subgroup sze. If there are mssng values, the Subgroup column should be used, or the structure of the frst example dataset. If there are no subgroups (ndvdual values only), the only nput needed s a sngle column of values. Response

From Data R-bar or s-bar Estmate Estmate sgma based on the average of the ranges or standard devatons (whchever s specfed under Range or SD Estmaton). When there are no subgroups (ndvdual values only), sgma wll be estmated wth the ranges of each value wth the prevous value, as s-bar cannot be estmated wth only one value at each tme pont. From Data SD Approach When there are subgroups, ths method estmates sgma usng a weghted approach estmate formula that s recommended when the subgroup sze vares across subgroups. When there are no subgroups (ndvdual values only), sgma s estmated usng the common sample standard devaton formula. Enter Sgma Value In ths case the sgma value s entered drectly. Ths sgma value s used n all calculatons nvolvng sgma. Use a Varable wth Sgma Value Specfy a column contanng the sgma value n row 1. Ths sgma value s used n all calculatons nvolvng sgma.
