How do I link Process Capability Indices to Number (PPM) Defects?

podcast episode with speaker Chris Jackson

We often use the word quality' to describe products that are manufactured with minimal defects ( and within tolerances). If you are involved in the field of quality (and manufacturing), then you might have heard of capability indices.' These are simple numbers that essentially describe the quality' of things being manufactured. There are certain guidelines and industry standards' for what these numbers should be. Have you ever heard of the 6 sigma'? It promotes a capability index of two (2). But what does this mean? These numbers also correspond with the fraction of defective products. Want to learn what these capability indices mean? and how to get them? and how to convert them to things like Parts Per Million (PPM) defects? Or better yet if you need to learn a bit more about manufacturing and how we measure quality in general? Join us for this webinar.

This Accendo Reliability webinar was originally broadcast on 24 October 2023.
