A capability study is one of the main tools of Lean Six Sigma. It involves analyzing a process to know whether it will produce significant defects. It quantifies the probability of a process resulting in defects, and this information is applied to improve the process to meet customer demand.
This course will explain the different methods for evaluating a process’s baseline capacity, depending on the type of data being analyzed. You’ll gain an understanding of the different indices for measuring capability and the common outputs from Capability studies based on continuous data.
