o reduce, for improved efficiency, or increase, for improved flexibility, process output variability over time, o shift the operating range, mode or mean of the process, or o both. • The changes required to one or more of the Capability Histogram parameters; o the values of the minimum, maximum, mean or mode of the distribution, and o the 'weighting factor' (spread of the distribution). • The demonstrated performance parameters; o the values of the minimum, maximum, mean or mode of the distribution, and o the 'weighting factor' (spread of the distribution). • The most probable changes to be further investigated, consider; o Process design where the historic performance demonstrates a skewed distribution that is not limited by either operating production strategy set point or external factors.

Design Limit

o Production strategy set point where the historic performance demonstrates a normal or skewed distribution that is not limited by either design or external factors.
