Σύνοψη	Robust process capability analysis extends classical capability indices (Cp, Cpk, Ppk) by replacing the sample mean and standard deviation with robust location and scale estimators — such as the median, trimmed mean, MAD, or IQR-based spread — so that outliers and non-normal process distributions do not inflate or distort the capability estimate. The result is a more reliable assessment of whether a manufacturing or service process can consistently meet specification limits.	Process Capability Analysis quantifies how well a manufacturing or business process produces output within specified tolerance limits. Introduced formally by Victor Kane in 1986, it summarises process spread and centering into dimensionless indices — most notably Cp and Cpk — allowing engineers and quality managers to judge whether a stable process is inherently capable of meeting customer or design specifications consistently.
