Hey Andy - so as you mentioned at the end, different Cpks may be acceptable depending on the risk. My question is how do you establish what that acceptable limit is for different products / industries? I've been looking into various standards (medical device) with little luck as most text is left vague and open. Lets say a 1.00 Cpk is acceptable for a certain product when for another product its not and would need 1.33 Cpk? I know its based on risk but struggling to find anything to guide internal acceptance criteria. Thanks!

@CQEAcademy

Жыл бұрын

Hey Dylan!!! I understand the struggle - I've also search for more definitive guidance in the past, and haven't found it. You're right in that the general guidance is risk based, and again that's tough to create industry standard guidance once, because we all have different scales for the impact (severity) of our failure modes. Some peoples worst failure mode would result in multiple deaths, while others might only impact the performance of the product without introducing any safety risk. Think about your own organizations scales for severity and probability, and then think about the severity associated with the quality attribute that you're measuring. Then ask yourself, what probability of occurrence should we achieve, for that severity - and that should give you a decent target for Cpk.

Great straight to the point presentation, clearly explaining the differences... Thank you very much ! Enjoyed every minute of it.

Hi doc, can cpk test show muscle problems like strains?

What I find a little bit confusing is that in the last section (where the sigma levels are explained) it looks like the output value remains the same but the specification limits change. (the red bars move outward in the graph) It is the opposite way around right?: the specification limits remain the same but the amount of output that fits within these limits changes. The more output fits within the limits, the higher your sigma number will be. Can you please confirm?

In this video, you said before we calculate the CPK and PPK, we should make sure our process is under control, however, when we make a new product and set up new product lines, we do not know if our process is under control, so we would calculate the CPK and PPK, and judge our process is under control or not by the calculated CPK or PPK, is it right?

@CQEAcademy

2 жыл бұрын

Hey Rezgui! Okay, so one of the baseline assumptions of control charts is that the process is consistent, and on-going. If you only run a batch several times per year, then the typical control chart methodology doesn't apply. Because each and every unique setup is essentially "special cause variation", you're intentionally changing the process, so the old control limits don't apply. There is a concept in SPC (Statistical process control) called short-run SPC, which is exactly what you're describing. You may want to do a quick youtube search on short run SPC and see if that answers your question. Check that out and see if that helps you out.

Hey Jeremy, it's very difficult, if not impossible to determine if your process is stable just using CP and PP values. Generally, the closer your two numbers are (Cp and Pp) the more stable your process is, but you should really use a control chart to make that determination.

Hi Andy, i have seen a scenario where If PP and PPK fail to achieve the minimum requirement e.g. 1.67 but CP and CPK passes. The big factor is the tolerance is so small it doesn't leave much room for any process variation as PP and PPK is long term. What are your thoughts on this due to tight tolerances?

Hi Andy! I am following a six sigma foundations course on LinkedIn and noticed that the values of %Conforming and DPM's in the table at 14:22 don't match those as taught in six sigma. The course I'm following for example gives a %Conforming of 99.999 66% and DPMO of 3.4 at a sigma level of 6. How come that they are different? Are they calculated differently?

Hi Andy great lectures... but is there a mistake here on your last slides 'interpreting CPk. Should the vertical lines be upper and lower CONTROL limits? the upper and lower spec limits are not related to the process as they are set by the customer, so they are constant as they are not related to the process standard deviation. Am I right here? Also - not fully clear on when you would want to use PPK rather than CPK. Be ver grateful if you can address these points, Andy - and many thanks :)

@athar786100

Жыл бұрын

Andy.... on second thought - and i have thought this through now so maybe apologies for my knee-jerk comment. I am really trying to understand this.. So after further thinking here is what i understood and would like your 'OK' on it. The spec limits are indeed fixed by the customer , so it ay be +/- 3 mm or whatever - that is fixed. But what is NOT fixed is the 'distance ' between the mean of the characteristic and the USL or LSL in terms of process standard deviations. The desire is to have the process so on point that the variability is very low is the standard deviation to be very low. This would mean that the USL for exmaple may be 4 or 5 or 6 standard deviations away from the mean (depending on the criticality v cost tradeoff). This the USL itself does not move but the 'fatness' of the normal distribution ie the process capability is what moves. The control limits (UCL or LCL) are a reflection of the fatness and reflects the measure of the characteristic (eg product length) at 3 standard deviations from the mean. At this point we will have captured 99% of the area under the curve . The question then is the extent of the gap between this point and the USL - if this gap is a posive number then the process is in control as we are able to deliver the product within limits. If the USL is inside the UCL then, 'mission control, we have a problem'. Is this right?

I wanted to ask why do you use spec limits for the Cpk instead control limits in control charts?.... is it because process control is different than process capability in analyzing the data?.......

@CQEAcademy

Hey There, okay so that's a great question! Remember, the control limits from the control chart represent the "voice of the process", meaning that those control limits reflect the natural variation in the process (+/-3 sigma). So if we compared our process variation against the process control limits, then our Cpk would always be 1, because the control limits are 3 sigma from the mean. The specification limits come to us from the customer and represent the "voice of the customer", and we use these because that's how we compare our process against the customer requirements to quantify how much "non-conforming" or "out of specification" (OOS) material that our process will create.

Hey @@snoringdragon1980 okay, so we've sort of switched topics from Cpk to SPC, which is definitely okay because those topics are definitely interrelated. In process capability (Cpk) it is critical to understand the underlying distribution because the Cpk calculations are based on the normal distribution, and if your process is not normally distributed, your estimates of defect rates will be incorrect (invalid). For SPC, when looking for special cause variation, the underlying distribution is irrelevant because control charts are based on the central limit theorem. The CLT tells us that the distribution of sample means will be normally distributed even if the underlying distribution is not normally distributed.

Hi, thanks for the video. I have questions: 1. If a car engine was designed to emit less than 4.6 g/min of NOx, and the agreed customer defect level is less than 3.4 defects per million engines. The legislation is changed to an emission target of 4.0 g/min. How can I find the USL and LSL? 2. 3.4 defects per million means 6 sigmas, isn't it?

Hey There! So as it relates to emissions, there is no LSL, only an USL - which should be given to you either by the customer, or by legislation (4.0 g/min). In terms of defects per million, there are two different estimates of defect rates. Short term (which I've shown here) and Long-term (which I haven't shown). the long-term estimates include the "1.5 sigma shift" and when you account for that emperical shift, yes, the 6sigma defect rates are 3.4 dpm.

Hey Federico! No, there's no maximum value for a one-sided Cp calculation.
