For instance, the process monitored is supposed to be stable and the process output should be approximately normally distributed. These assumptions are not always fulfilled in practice. This article focuses on the problem when the process monitored has an output which is non-normally distributed. After presenting a short literature review on research concerning process capability indices and non-normal distributions, the effect of skewness on estimates of process capability indices is studied using a simulation study based on lognormally distributed process outputs. It is found that the effect of skewness is relatively systematic. From the study it is clear that the effect of skewness on estimates of process capability indices is so severe that it has to be considered when studying the capability of a process. Otherwise, erroneous decisions might be made when improving the process studied. It is suggested that further research, for instance, focusing on correction-factors to use when the process output has different skew shapes might be meaningful. However, research focusing on totally new ways of estimating process capability is primarily encouraged.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100690,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Applied Quality Management","volume":"2 2","pages":"Pages 153-186"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/S1096-4738(99)80088-8","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77206006","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The system will support current expenditure budgeting according to the same principles as the fixed expenditure (capital) budgeting. The framework of the analysis is based on an ex ante version of the traditional (ex post) <em>du Pont</em> system presenting the profitability of the firm as a function of asset turnover and profit margin. The present approach depicts the relationships between sales and the alternative classes of expenditure, expenses and assets by means of a mathematical model expressed as a DSS in an EXCEL spreadsheet framework. The model assumes that the average absorption time and revenue lag structure for expenditure classes are constant in time. However, the monetary productivity of expenditures is a second-order parabola of the amount of expenditure. The use of the model is demonstrated in two illustrative cases (SIEMENS and ABB) using published financial statement data. The estimation of the revenue function is based on an interactive analysis and simulation with past data.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100690,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Applied Quality Management","volume":"2 1","pages":"Pages 75-99"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/S1096-4738(99)80005-0","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89136212","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
