The implemenation of process capability: A case study in a wood industry company

Abstract

It becomes more and more often that the improvement of the manufacturing processes imply using the statistical process control. The companies understand that by reducing the variation in a system the quality will improve and the competitiveness will also increase. It is not important only to produce parts according to the specifications, but is very important that the output of the process is between some limits, named specification limits. The present paper presents a case study from wood production industry. The simulations were done with Minitab software, but they can be done with the help of other similar software.
