({Dactory Process Capability Analysis Cp, Cpk, Pp, Ppk - A Guide 01. What is Process Capability Analysis? A process capability study uses data from an initial run of parts to predict whether a manufacturing process can repeatably produce parts that meet specifications. Think of it as being similar to a forecast. You will take some historical data, and extrapolate out to the future to answer the question "can I rely on this process to deliver good parts?". Your customers may require a process capability study as part of a PPAP. They will do this to ensure that your manufacturing processes are capable of consistently producing good parts. From The Initial Sample ... +» Predict Future Process Performance — ? 02. The Basic Concept When the manufacturing process is being defined, your goal is to ensure that the parts produced fall within the Upper and Lower Specification Limits (USL, LSL). Process Capability measures how consistently a manufacturing process can produce parts within specifications. The basic idea is very simple. You want your manufacturing process to: (1) be centered over the Nominal desired by the design engineer, and (2) with a spread narrower than the specification width. Cp measures whether the process spread is narrower than the specification width Cpk measures both the centering of the process as well as the spread of the process relative to the specification width Specification Width Distance from Mean to Nearest Spec Limit cp= cpk= Process Width Distance from Mean to Process Edge Mean Mean to Process Edge (Spread) oa a Process py Width qe Mean to Nearest Spec Limit (Location) aan Spec Width ISL USL Ist ust Cp accounts for only the spread (or Cpk accounts for both the spread and variation) of the process. location of the process. 03. The Basic Calculations Before we get into the detailed statistical calculations, let's review the high-level steps: 1: Plot the Data: Record the measurement data, and plot this data on a run- chart and on a histogram as shown in the picture on the right. 2: Calculate the Spec Width: Plot the Upper Spec Limit (USL) and Lower Spec Limit (LSL) on the histogram, and calculate the Spec Width as shown below. Spec Width = USL — LSL 2: Caleulate the Pracess Width: Similarly we will alsa calculate the Process Process Width = UCL — LCL Hie CHU) He frie row CEU HEE Hee SS Width. The simplest way to think about the process width is "the difference between the largest value and the smallest value this process could create" 4: Calculate Cp: Calculate the capability index as the ratio of the spec width to the process width. Cp = Spec Width / Process Width SPEC 19 tof2 NUM fe 0.05020.005 in 5s] 2 00483 5 ct 4 0.0492 v ~ A | 6 0.0507 v - . e 5; coor : ia a cess | aon i teoee 2 a 3 0.0501 v = 5 aoa | : ier a a > toa 7 7 eer 19 0.0501 v . 2 ear 2 mo 5 ore 5 ems) 04. A Simple Analogy Imagine a driver trying to park a car in a garage. If the car is too wide, it wont fit. If it's narrower than the garage opening, but if it's not centered, it won't make rin 1e Win ukery nit/scrape one or tne sides. rimtung one oF tne siaes or ne garage is equivalent to producing a defective part. But if the car is narrow enough AND well centered, the car will fit. That is our goal. We want a manufacturing process width that is narrow and well centered relative to the specification limits. Cla er = = erat 05. A More Realistic Analogy Now let's assume that the car is the right width. It's narrow enough, and should always fit. It's now up to the driver's skill to park without scraping the sides. Imagine a driver arriving home after work each day, and parking his car in the garage. The Good Driver: A good driver will always center the car well with enough room on both sides. Over the next 30 days, his run-chart and histogram will both be very narrow. It's clear from the charts that he's very unlikely to scrape or dent the car. There's plenty of room on either side. The Unsteady Driver: On the other hand, an unsteady driver - someone learning to drive - may not always center the car correctly. Over the next 30 days, his run- chart and histogram are very wide. It's very likely that he could scrape or dent the car. We'll use the same idea in manufacturing. Welll record measurements for each part made, then plot a histogram and run-chart, and see how much room we have on each side. The narrower our histogram width relative to the specification width, the higher our process capability. .0 USL To
