What is Process Capability Analysis (PCA)?

What is Process Capability Analysis (PCA)?

What is Process Capability Analysis (PCA)?

Speaker: Chris Jackson

A ‘capable’ process is a really weak term for what we are dealing with here. In short, a process is considered ‘capable’ if it creates products that in spite of all the unavoidable natural variation in production still fall within the boundaries of what ‘good’ looks like. Perhaps instead of ‘capable’ we should say ‘amazing’! A ‘capable’ process will essentially create products that have a very, very small chance of being defective. So how do we get here? SPC can help. But how do we measure how ‘capable’ our process is? And can we use this measurement to (for example) work out how many Parts Per Million (PPM) defects you are likely to get? This webinar introduces you to the concept of process capability including well known indices like CPK along with what this means for your process. [Read more…]

SOR 738 Design Use of Cpk

SOR 738 Design Use of Cpk

Design Use of Cpk

Abstract

Chris and Fred discuss the use of this thing called ‘Cpk’ which is what we call a ‘capability index.’ This is a measure of how ‘capable’ a typically manufacturing process is, which helps us understand the percentage of defects we create. But reliability engineers often see this as something that ‘manufacturing teams’ or ‘quality people’ do. But is it?

You may have heard of Statistical Process Control (SPC), 6-sigma, Shewhart, the Japanese Economic Miracle, X̅ – R Charts … or perhaps none of them. So if you have heard of these things (and are confused by them) or if you are involved in ‘processes’ (especially manufacturing) then this webinar might help you out. [Read more…]

SOR 732 Reliability Goals and Allocation

SOR 732 Reliability Goals and Allocation

Reliability Goals and Allocation

Abstract

Chris and Fred discuss reliability goals … and how we ‘allocate’ them to components and subsystems. This is really important, as subsystems and components are often built and designed by different designers or organizations. So how do we translate system-level goals to MEANINGFUL lower-level goals?

Easy to Ask Hard to Answer

Abstract

Chris and Fred discuss questions that are easy to ask … but hard to answer. And these questions are often hard to answer because the person asking the question hasn’t thought about the REAL question they are trying to answer. So how many samples do I need for everything to be OK???

SOR 726 Statistics, Mechanisms, Facilitation

SOR 726 Statistics, Mechanisms, Facilitation

Statistics, Mechanisms, Facilitation

Abstract

Chris and Fred discuss how statistics, mechanisms, and other technical words that come from ‘reliability engineering’ in contrast to softer terms like ‘facilitation.’ This comes from discussions Chris has had during his Statistical Process Control (SPC) course that he has run previously. So what is the big deal about these words? Well … you can know everything there is to know about statistics and failure mechanisms – but if you can’t make things better then it is all for nothing!

Common Slope Assumption

Abstract

Chris and Fred discuss a ‘common slope assumption’ … which is something that only those of you with reliability engineering experience will have heard about. This is all about what we called ‘accelerated life testing’ where we increase stresses to accelerate failure. And software that is used to model accelerated life testing. Keen to learn more?

Abstract

Chris and Fred discuss what it means to be ‘confident.’ Is it the way you carry yourself? Is it being able to rely or trust on something? Or is it the probability that some variable quantity will be within two limits? More importantly … what does this mean in the domain of reliability and quality?
