A process that produces computer chips has a mean of .04 defective chips and a standard deviation of .003 chips. The allowable variation is from .032 to .048 defective. a. Compute the capability index (Cp) for the process.

The capability index for the process is 0.889

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to compute the capability index for the process

To get this, we need some important parameters which we already have stated in the question

USL ( upper standard limit) = 0.048

LSL (lower standard limit) = 0.032

mean = 0.04

standard deviation = 0.003

We apply the formula as seen in the attachment below

Kindly understand that we are to calculate the Z upper and Z lower

The smallest value between the two will be our Z minimum

This is what we shall apply in the capability index formula which mathematically is;

Z minimum/3

From calculation:

Z lower = Z upper = 2.67

So therefore;

capability index = 2.67/3 = 0.889
