Manufacturing quality evaluation is a critical discipline that focuses on assessing a process’s ability to produce outputs within pre‐defined tolerance limits. Recent advances combine traditional ...

Process capability indices (PCIs) have long served as crucial metrics in assessing the performance and quality of manufacturing processes. Recent advances in statistical estimation techniques have not ...

This study examines the use of process capability index results to establish sampling strategies for new product cleaning and to minimize the risk of insufficient cleaning. Pharmaceutical development ...

Repeatability means the ability to produce parts that have identical properties. As with other manufacturing processes, this capability is very important in injection molding because it has a crucial ...

The process capability index C p, sometimes called the "process potential index," the "process capability ratio," or the "inherent capability index," is estimated as Exact lower and upper confidence ...

Process design experimental data and risk assessments are used to predict expected process performance and establish process performance qualification acceptance criteria. Per ICH Q8, the aim of ...

Six Sigma is a data-driven approach to quality, aimed at reducing variation and the associated defects, wastes, and risks in any process. This article explores the basics of Six Sigma process quality ...

Quality costs may consume 25% of total revenues in manufacturing businesses, mostly from rework, scrap, warranty, product-liability claims, and recalls. The Six Sigma quality initiative helps ...
