Fundamentals of Process Capability
podcast episode with speaker Fred Schenkelberg
Calculating and interpreting the process capability ratios is the easy part. Getting valid results takes more work and thinking. Knowing that the process is capable is only one use of this information. We should also use the information contained in these ratios to inform product design tolerance.
Let’s explore the steps necessary to obtain valid and valuable process capability ratios. Then, let’s examine a few ways to use this information to effectively improve our processes and designs.
This Accendo Reliability webinar was originally broadcast on 14 May 2024.

SPC Sample Size Impact on SPC
In this webinar, we explore the impact that chart selection and sample size have on chart sensitivity (the ability to detect changes).

Reliability and Statistical Process Control
Let’s explore some cases where effectively using statistical process control will enhance your product’s reliability performance.

Understanding and Controlling Process Variation
Let’s discuss process variation and how to measure, monitor, and control processes to minimize the differences from one part to the next.

10 Keys for Maximizing the Benefits of Your SPC Program
Progressive manufacturers use control charts to “listen” to their processes to detect and rectify potentially harmful changes.

What is Statistical Process Control or SPC?
You may have heard of Statistical Process Control, 6-sigma, Shewhart, the Japanese Economic Miracle, X̅ – R Charts … or perhaps none of them.

What is Process Capability Analysis (PCA)?
A process is considered ‘capable’ if it creates products that, with production natural variation, are still within what ‘good’ looks like.
