Is it possible to set CPK '2.0' on a distribution chart when CPK is 2.0?

Question

Hi everyone,

I create a distribution chart.  In the capability analysis table (next to the chart) CPK is shown.  If the value of CPK is more then 2.0, can I change the value to '> 2.0' ?

Thanks,

Jan

Because it is a calculated value you cannot change directly in the analysis platform.  However, if you right click anywhere in the index region you can make the report into a data table and you can then change the values there.  There is one problem with doing that.  If you change a value by adding a symbol it then changes the data type to nominal character data and the whole column must then be changed.

You can also investigate different CPK values in the Quality/Capability platform using the Goal Plot.  Change the CPK slider to value you want and you can see where one or all of you inputs fall out in regards to the "desired" CPK.

Thanks for the answer, but not exactly what I was looking for.  If CPK is 7.833, How can I change the value in the index column to '> 2.0' ?

Thank you!

It looks like you need to change the width of the field and/or the number of decimal places.  You can do this by double-clicking on the capability output table and then changing one or both values.
