Learning Outcomes

This unit would apply to a manager or technical expert support person. Process capability is typically calculated using standard deviations.
In a typical scenario a manager (who may have as a job title section leader, production manager or similar) will be responsible for developing plans to improve process capability and following agreement the implementation of the plans to improve process capability. This unit comes from the Competitive Manufacturing Initiative group of competency standards.

Overview of Assessment

Evidence of the ability to:
• 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
• one complex project or several simpler projects will be needed to gain sufficient evidence.
