The Cpk of a process measures how centered the output of the process is between its lower and upper specification limits and how variable (and therefore how stable or non-stable) the output is.

Cp, Cpk, and PPM are statistical calculation parameters commonly used to improve the quality and lower the costs of manufactured products. The calculations are associated with statistical …

PPM (parts per million) In a quality control context, PPM stands for the number of parts per million (cf. percent) that lie outside the tolerance limits. Cpk 1.00 means that 2 700 PPM (0.27%) of …

Using this table, we can see that a Cpk (or Ppk) of 1.33 equates to a +/-4 sigma process which yield approximately 63 defects per million parts produced. To approximate the PPM for your …

According to Six Sigma philosophy, Cp or Pp and Cpk or Ppk should be greater than 1.50. Six Sigma deems a process acceptable only after achieving a maximum defect rate of 3.4 ppm …

Apr 24, 2017 · PPM and Cpk are both measures of defects. PPM stands for defective parts per million. Cpk is the process capability index. The higher the index, the more closely the process …

Process Capability Index (Cpk) is a powerful statistical tool used in Statistical Process Control (SPC) to assess the performance and capability of a process.

Cm and Cmk are machine capability indices, while Cp/Cpk and Pp/Ppk are process capability and performance indices. Cm is a statistical measure used to evaluate the potential capability of a …

An examination of the relationship between Cpk, defect rate, process sigma, and the shifted sigma, as shown in Fig. 6 and Table 2, however, would suggest that the alternative calculation …

The main difference between Cp and Cpk is that Cp only considers the spread of the process data relative to the specification limits, while Cpk also considers the location of the process average …
