Method evidence record

Risk-based Process Capability Analysis

Risk-based Process Capability Analysis (RBPCA) combines classical process capability indices (Cp, Cpk, Pp, Ppk) with structured risk assessment tools — such as FMEA risk priority numbers — to prioritise improvement actions not merely by how capable a process is, but by the potential harm its failures can cause. The approach is widely used in automotive, aerospace, medical device, and pharmaceutical manufacturing to align quality engineering decisions with risk management requirements.
