Process Capability Indices [Paperback]

A solid, rigorous, yet comprehensible analysis of process capability indices, this work bridges the gap between theoretical statisticians and quality control practitioners, showing how an understanding of these indices can lead to process improvement.1. Introduction 2. The basic process capability indices: Cp, Cpk and their modifications 3. The Cpm index and related indices 4. Process capability indices under non-normality: Robustness properties 5. Multivariate process capability indicesThis book clarifies the statistical meaning of process capability indices by presenting the theory to investigate the properties of various indices available in the literature and to convince practitioners of the advisability of representing estimates of process capability by a pair of numbers.Kotz, Samuel; Johnson, Norman L.US? 1993 by Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
