Definition

The process capability index cpk is a measurement for the expected share of nonconforming units in the process. The larger the value, the smaller the share.

Use

For characteristic values with a normal distribution the following formula is used in the calculation:

cpk = min((ULV - x-bar), (x-bar - LLV)) / 3*s

ULV and LLV are the limits of the tolerance area, x-bar and s are estimated values for the expected value and standard deviation of the original values.

Note

If no master inspection characteristic, or inspection characteristic exists in the current drill-down, the Cpk value is not relevant. In such a case, asterisks (***) appear in place of the Cpk value. Similarly, if no tolerances exist, asterisks (***) appear in place of the Cpk value.
