Process Capability Improvement for Multistage Processes

Pages 281-292 | Published online: 16 Aug 2006
 

Abstract

While the quality control procedures for multistage has been considerably studied, multistage process capability analysis has not been explored much at all. Fostering on the recent development of the multistage process variation transmission model, a multistage process capability analysis algorithm is developed to prioritize process improvement efforts. The application of algorithm is demonstrated with two 2-stage industrial process examples and a 4-stage process example for its expandability.
