Statistical methods in process management - Capability and performance - Part 2: Process capability and performance of time-dependent process models

This document describes a procedure for the determination of statistics for estimating the quality
capability or performance of product and process characteristics. The process results of these quality
characteristics are categorized into eight possible distribution types. Calculation formulae for the
statistical measures are placed with every distribution.
The statistical methods described in this document only relate to continuous quality characteristics.
They are applicable to processes in any industrial or economical sector.
NOTE This method is usually applied in case of a great number of serial process results, but it can also be
used for small series (a small number of process results).

Statistične metode za obvladovanje procesov - Zmogljivost in delovanje - 2. del: Procesne zmogljivosti in delovanje časovno odvisnih modelnih procesov

Ta dokument opisuje postopek za ugotavljanje statističnih podatkov za oceno kakovostne
sposobnosti ali delovanja proizvodnih in procesnih karakteristik. Procesni rezultati teh kakovostnih karakteristik so razvrščeni v osem možnih vrst porazdelitve. Formule za izračun za statistična merjenja so zabeležene z vsako porazdelitvijo.
Statistične metode iz tega dokumenta se nanašajo samo na trajne kakovostne karakteristike.
Uporabljajo se za procese v katerem koli industrijskem ali gospodarskem sektorju.
OPOMBA: Ta metoda se običajno uporablja v primeru velikega števila serijskih rezultatov procesov, vendar se lahko uporablja tudi za majhne serije (majhno število rezultatov procesov).

Introduction
Many standards have been created concerning the quality capability/performance of processes by
international, regional and national standardization bodies and also by industry. All of them assume
that the process is in a state of statistical control, with stationary, normally distributed processes.
However, a comprehensive analysis of production processes shows that, over time, it is very rare for
processes to remain in such a state.
In recognition of this fact, this document provides a framework for estimating the quality
capability/performance of industrial processes for an array of standard circumstances. These
circumstances are categorized based on the stability of the mean and variance, as to whether they are
constant, changing systematically, or changing randomly. As such, the quality capability/performance
can be assessed for very differently shaped distributions with respect to time.
In other parts of ISO 22514 more detailed information about calculations of indices can be found. It
should be noted that where the capability indices given in this document are computed they only form
point estimates of their true values. It is therefore recommended that wherever possible the indices’
confidence intervals are computed and reported.

4 Process analysis
The purpose of process analysis is to obtain knowledge of a process. This knowledge is necessary for
controlling the process efficiently and effectively so that the products realized by the process fulfil
the quality requirement. It is a general assumption of this document that a process analysis has been
carried out and subsequent process improvements have been implemented.
The behaviour of a characteristic under consideration can be described by the distribution, the location,
the dispersion and the shape, parameters of which are time-dependent functions, in general. Different
models of such resulting distributions the parameters of which are time-dependent functions are
discussed in Clauses 6 and 7. To indicate whether a time-dependent distribution model fits, statistical
methods [e.g. estimating parameters, analysis of variance (ANOVA)] including graphical tools (e.g.
probability plots, control charts) are used.
The values of the characteristics under consideration are typically determined on the basis of samples
taken from the process flow. The sample size and frequency should be chosen depending on the type
of process and the type of product so that all important changes are detected in time. The samples
should be representative for the characteristic under consideration. To asses the stability of the process
a control chart should be used. Information on the use of control charts can be found in ISO 7870-2.
5 Time-dependent distribution models
The instantaneous distribution characterizes the behaviour of the characteristic under investigation
during a short interval. Usually, it is the time interval during which the sample (e.g. the subgroup) can be
taken from the process. Observing the process continuously in time for a longer time interval the output
from the process is called the resulting process distribution and it is described by a corresponding
time-dependent distribution model that reflects
— the instantaneous distribution of the characteristic under consideration, and
— the changes of its location, dispersion and shape parameters during the time interval of process
observation.
In practice, the resulting distribution can be represented by the whole data set, e.g. when SPC is applied,
by all subgroups gained during the interval of the process observation.
Time-dependent distribution models can be classified into four groups according to whether the
location and dispersion moments are constant or changing (see Table 1).
a) A process whose location and dispersion are constant is in time-dependent distribution model A.
In this case only, all the means and variances of the instantaneous distributions are equal to each
other and they are equal to the resulting distribution.
b) If the dispersion of a process is changing with time, but the location stays constant, the process is
said to be in time-dependent distribution model B.
c) If the dispersion is constant, but the location is changing, we have time-dependent distribution
model C.
d) Otherwise, we have time-dependent distribution model D.

4 Process analysis
The purpose of process analysis is to obtain knowledge of a process. This knowledge is necessary for
controlling the process efficiently and effectively so that the products realized by the process fulfil
the quality requirement. It is a general assumption of this document that a process analysis has been
carried out and subsequent process improvements have been implemented.
The behaviour of a characteristic under consideration can be described by the distribution, the location,
the dispersion and the shape, parameters of which are time-dependent functions, in general. Different
models of such resulting distributions the parameters of which are time-dependent functions are
discussed in Clauses 6 and 7. To indicate whether a time-dependent distribution model fits, statistical
methods [e.g. estimating parameters, analysis of variance (ANOVA)] including graphical tools (e.g.
probability plots, control charts) are used.
The values of the characteristics under consideration are typically determined on the basis of samples

should be representative for the characteristic under consideration. To asses the stability of the process
a control chart should be used. Information on the use of control charts can be found in ISO 7870-2.
5 Time-dependent distribution models
The instantaneous distribution characterizes the behaviour of the characteristic under investigation
during a short interval. Usually, it is the time interval during which the sample (e.g. the subgroup) can be
taken from the process. Observing the process continuously in time for a longer time interval the output
from the process is called the resulting process distribution and it is described by a corresponding
time-dependent distribution model that reflects
— the instantaneous distribution of the characteristic under consideration, and
— the changes of its location, dispersion and shape parameters during the time interval of process
observation.
In practice, the resulting distribution can be represented by the whole data set, e.g. when SPC is applied,
by all subgroups gained during the interval of the process observation.
Time-dependent distribution models can be classified into four groups according to whether the
location and dispersion moments are constant or changing (see Table 1).
a) A process whose location and dispersion are constant is in time-dependent distribution model A.
In this case only, all the means and variances of the instantaneous distributions are equal to each
other and they are equal to the resulting distribution.
b) If the dispersion of a process is changing with time, but the location stays constant, the process is
said to be in time-dependent distribution model B.
c) If the dispersion is constant, but the location is changing, we have time-dependent distribution
model C.
d) Otherwise, we have time-dependent distribution model D.
