Simulation-assisted process capability analysis
Simulation-assisted process capability analysis combines Monte Carlo simulation with classical capability indices (Cp, Cpk, Cpm) to evaluate whether a process can consistently meet specification limits when direct measurement is costly, dangerous, or impractical. By propagating input distributions through a process model, the analyst obtains a simulated output distribution and derives capability metrics without waiting for physical production runs. The approach is especially valuable during product design, process scale-up, and tolerance stack-up studies.
