The process metrics and process capability can be measured by using different formula like Cp and Cpk. The following are the formulae of each of the process capability: Cp =( USL –LSL)/6 sigma Cpk = min[( USL –mu)/3 sigma, (mu –LSL)/ 3 sigma], Where, USL: Upper Specification Limit: 24 LSL: Lower Specification Limit: 8 Mu: the mean value of the process: 15.35 Sigma: the standard deviation of the process: 4.6462
