Short-run capability is run on the assumption that the data is taken from a single period of time. The idea is to view data from a single sample point without any information about time. There is no subgrouping of the data or time information as the results may come from a small batch of products. Because of this, no within standard deviation can be found, this means Cpk will not be calculated and only Ppk will be used.
The Assistant tool for capability analysis helps us find the type of study to run and provides guidance in term of output and preparation of the data. Like all the Assistant tools, the dialog box is presented without any options in order to make the choices simpler and easier to use.
Because the emphasis is on ease of use, with the Assistant tool, we will not use a sample data set for this recipe. Instead, try following the instructions with your own results.
