Sammanfattning	Optimization-assisted process capability analysis combines classical capability indices (Cp, Cpk, Cpm) with mathematical optimization to identify process parameter settings that simultaneously satisfy engineering specifications and maximize process capability. Rather than simply measuring whether a process is capable, it prescribes the control factor levels — mean, variance, tolerances — that push capability above a target threshold. It is widely applied in manufacturing, chemical processing, and quality engineering contexts where multiple process variables must be tuned jointly.	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.
