Σύνοψη	Simulation-assisted control chart integrates Monte Carlo or discrete-event simulation with traditional Shewhart-type control charting to design, validate, and optimize chart parameters before deployment on a real process. Rather than relying solely on assumed distributional forms, the practitioner builds a simulation model of the process, generates virtual data under in-control and out-of-control scenarios, and uses these runs to calibrate control limits, estimate average run length (ARL), and stress-test chart sensitivity — all without interrupting production.	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.
