Cpk Calculation for Unilateral Tolerance

Process capability (Cp and Cpk) values require specification limits to calculate, but unilateral tolerances only provide one limit rather than upper and lower limits. While Cp cannot be calculated for unilateral tolerances due to the lack of a mean value, Cpk can be calculated because the single limit serves as the target value. For unilateral tolerances, only the Cpk value can represent process capability.

Process capability for the one sided tolerance (Unilateral
Tolerance)
It is obvious that when we want to calculate process capability of any process
we should know the specification limits. To calculate Cp we need mean value
which means the centre value of the tolerance and this is possible only when
there are upper limits and lower limits available. In case of unilateral tolerance
we have only one limit either upper or lower. So we cannot calculate Cp
values for unilateral tolerance.
To calculate Cpk we need to have target value to know the position of the
process. How far it is from the target value or how close it is to the target value.
So in unilateral tolerance the target value is either upper limit or lower limit.
With this limit we can calculate the Cpk value.
So for unilateral tolerance only Cpk value is possible to calculate.
