. Process Capability
Recall that we compared the two different ideas—Product conformance v.s. Control of the process—in our previous lecture slides.
Product conformance issue is also referred to as the process capability. One should never place the engineering specifications on a control chart, since such would wrongly suggest that tracking a quality characteristic is related to the engineering specifications. Although the two issues are completely different, they are linked in the sense that it is impossible to assess process capability without being reasonably assured of having good statistical control.

. Process Capability
If a process is in statistical control but not capable of meeting the specifications, the problem may be one of the following: .
1 The process is off-center from the nominal.
. The process variability is too large relative to the tolerance/specification. .
3 Both of the above.
