Question

The process engineers have designed our drink process with an upper spec or tolerance of
46 ounces and a lower spec or tolerance of 42 ounces. I wonder what our process
capability really is? I've been reading about Six Sigma, it would be fantastic if we could add 
that to our already fantastic slogan regarding this new beverage!"
• Calculate the process capability (Cp and Cpk)
Cp = (USL – LSL) / (6 x sigma) 
Where:
USL= Upper Specification Limit or Tolerance
LSL = Lower Specification limit or Tolerance
Cpk is the capability the process is achieving whether or not the mean is centered between the 
specification limits.
