Problem 3g) What can you conclude about the process capability, i.e. capability of this machine (and the tool used) to cut the keyseat to specifications? Next week you will see that six sigma capable processes have capability indices Cp >=2 and Cpk >=1.5. DeGarmo mentions that a manufacturing process should have at least Cp >=1.33(which is four-sigma capable process, provided it is reasonably centered), and that is considered as "mediocre," or "industry average." Two-sigma (Cp =0.67) capability reflects poor quality, or "non-competitive" manufacturing.
Question 18 options:
The Machine B is very capable of machining 2.625\pm 0.010 inch outside diameter on this part, as no scrap was made (Table 3)
The capability of Machine B to machine the outer diameter of this cylinder to 2.625\pm 0.010 inch is very low
No conclusion can be made about the capability of this process
