Cpk

Process Capability Index Cpk

Process capability index considering both spread and centering relative to the nearest specification limit.

Examples

  1. 01The customer requires a Cpk of at least 1.33 for the bearing seat, and the first run shows 1.12 because the process sits close to the upper limit.
  2. 02In the supplier review, Cpk values for all key characteristics are compared with last quarter to see which processes are drifting.
  3. 03When Cpk on a seal groove falls below 1.0, the parts are 100 % inspected until the tool offset is corrected and capability is shown again.
