How to calculate Cp and Cpk? | Process Capability Example

Hi readers! today we are going to discuss on Process Capability Example. The Process Capability (Cp) and Process Capability Index (Cpk) are very important tools to measure the process Capability of a Stable Process.

Process Capability Example is given below to understand better.

Process Capability (Cp):

• Process Capability (Cp) is a statistical measurement of a process’s ability to produce parts within specified limits on a consistent basis
• It gives us an idea of the width of the Bell curve.
• The Process Capability for a stable process is typically defined as ((USL-LSL)/ (6 x Standard Deviation)).

Process Capability Index (Cpk):

• It shows how closely a process is able to produce the output to its overall specifications.
• More Value of Cpk means more process capable.
• Cpk value <1 means the bell curve will be out of USL/LSL
• Common Cpk vale=1,1.33,1.67 & 2
• The Cpk value of a startup manufacturing organization is supposed to be 1.33.  
• The Process Capability Index for a stable process is typically defined as the minimum of CPU or CPL

Process Capability Example (Manufacturing Example):

The XYZ Pvt. Ltd, the organization manufactures oil sump. In their quality assurance plan, they have mentioned the Pouring Temperature (Process Parameter of the Melting Process) is a critical characteristic. So they have decided to monitor the Cp and Cpk trend.

The Specification of Pouring Temperature is 1400±10°C.

The Process Engineer has observed the Pouring Temperature and listed the same as below table;

Table (Readings):

Range=Maximum Value-Minimum Value

Average of Range=1.45

Value of d2=2.326 (For Subgroup size 5)

USL = 1410°C, LSL = 1390°C.

Standard Deviation:

 = Average of Range/d2

 1.45/2.326

=0.623

Process Capability (Cp Formula):

 = ((USL-LSL)/ (6 x Standard Deviation))

= (1410-1390)/ (6 x 0.623)

20/3.738

= 5.351

Process Capability Index (Cpk Formula):

CPU:

= ((USL-Average of Mean)/3 x Standard Deviation)

= (1410-1400.42)/ (3 x 0.623)

9.58/ 1.869

= 5.12

CPL:

= ((Average of Mean-LSL)/3 x Standard Deviation)

= (1400.42-1390)/ 1.869

10.42

=5.58

Cpk= 5.12 (minimum of CPU or CPL).
