Learning Outcomes
Overview of Assessment
The manager should be able to implement and review a process capability system and make improvements to the process using process capability as a tool. Evidence should be available of the conducting of process capability studies, the improvement to process capability as a result of these studies and the implementation of a revised process capability regime.
Assessment needs to occur in an organisation using process capability as a tool for process monitoring and improvement. It may also be assessed using a suitable project.
