This spreadsheet is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, either expressed or implied.
When to use this spreadsheet
1) This spreadsheet performs a complete process capability analysis. The data is displayed using a Histogram and SPC charts.
The SPC charts are evaluated for 8 stability criteria. A capability analysis is performed providing a summary of the process data,
values for Cpk, Ppk, and SPC limits for Individual Moving Range charts or X Bar R charts, X Median Charts, and Pre-Control
charts.
2) This spreadsheet is intended to be used by individuals new to the quality sciences that are unsure how to perform a complete
capability study. A more thorough analysis can be performed manually or using a software package such as Minitab.
Instructions for Data Entry
1) Organize your data in a single column. If the data is sub-grouped, order the data by sub-group and sample. For example, if
you have three subgroups of sample size equal to 5 you should order your data 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
2) Enter or paste your data into the column titled Data. A maximum of 1800 data points can be entered. Only white cells will
accept data.
3) Enter the sub-group size and the upper and lower spec limits. Spec limits are necessary to perform capability calculations but
are not required. Note: If the data set is not evenly devisable by the sub-group size, the remaining (incomplete) sub-group is not
displayed.
4) Check the "Unilateral" check box if your data is one-sided (such as Flatness, Roundness, etc) and the Cpk/Ppk values will
update accordingly.
Reading the Results
1) The Sub-group column will automatically reflect the sub-group number associated with the data value.
2) The Point # and Data columns reflect the calculated average and range (or individual and moving range) displayed on the
charts.
3) The SPC charts will automatically display the correct chart depending on the subgroup size. The major header will identify
Individuals charts versus X Bar Charts.
4) When a sub-group size of one is used, the spec limits will be shown on the Individuals chart and the spec range shown on the
Range Chart. X-Bar Charts will not do this.
5) The charts will automatically size themselves to fully display data sets less than 100 pieces.
6) The SPC rules will display Pass or Fail and should be used to determine if your data is stable and in control.
7) The histogram will always draw a bell curve regardless of whether or not the data is normally distributed.
8) A summary of the Process Data is displayed, most of which are self explanatory. The Upper and Lower Control Limits are
calculated using the mean of the data and should not be confused with the SPC limits discussed below. The normality analysis is
performed using guidelines outlined by James Dean Brown, University of Hawaii at Manoa as found in the Shiken: JALT Testing &
Evaluation SIG Newsletter ([Link] A statement will appear based on these guidelines as to whether
the data is normal. Skewness and Kurtosis are not displayed.
9) The Xbar and R (or Individual and Moving Range) limits are provided for implementing SPC on the floor. The limits are
automatically centered around the nominal spec value.
10) The X Median limits are also provided for implementing SPC on the floor. X Median limits will not display when the sub-group
size is equal to one. The limits are automatically centered around the nominal spec value.
