תקציר	Bayesian Process Capability Analysis integrates Bayesian inference with classical capability indices (Cp, Cpk, Cpm) to estimate how well a production process meets specification limits. Rather than relying solely on observed sample data, it incorporates prior knowledge about process parameters — yielding more stable and credible estimates of process capability, especially under small sample sizes common in manufacturing and quality engineering.	A control chart is a time-series graph with statistically derived upper and lower control limits that separates the natural, random variation of a process (common cause) from unusual, assignable variation (special cause). Invented by Walter Shewhart at Bell Labs in 1924, control charts remain the foundational tool of Statistical Process Control and are used across manufacturing, healthcare, software, and service industries to monitor whether a process remains stable and predictable over time.
