This paper deals with construction of confidence intervals for process capability index using bootstrap method (proposed by Chen and Pearn in Qual Reliab Eng Int 13(6):355–360, 1997) by applying simulation technique. It is assumed that the quality characteristic follows type-II generalized...

In this study, a new approach has been proposed for selecting appropriate maintenance strategies. For this purpose, decision making grid (DMG) has been developed. Sigma level and process capability indexes have been used based on the metric of mean time between failures (MTBF). The proposed...

The manufacturing operations often involve multistage processes where the process capability of each stage is affected by the process capability of its precedent processes. This property is known as the cascade property. The purpose of this paper is to estimate the process capability of the...
