Measuring process capability index Cpmk with fuzzy data and compare it with other fuzzy process capability indices
The index Cpmk is a well-known loss-based process capability index. It can reveal more information about the location of the process mean compared with other classic process capability indices. This index is also more sensitive than other capability indices to any deviations from process mean. When there are some uncertainties in observations, fuzzy logic can be employed to manage these uncertainties. There is some research on different fuzzy process capability indices and this paper is an extension of Tsai and Chen, 2006andChen et al., 2003 for the process capability index Cpmk of fuzzy numbers. In order to find the membership function of process capability index Cpmk, the ?-cuts of the fuzzy observation were employed. An example of fuzzy process capability Cpmk calculator was illustrated and compared with other classic fuzzy process capability indices C ? p , C ? pl , C ? pu , C ? pk and C ? pm . Results showed that fuzzy C ? pmk has the advantages of both C ? pk and C ? pm . Since the index Cpmk is a more sensitive index compared with other classic indices, the fuzzy process capability index C ? pmk can be a more sensitive fuzzy index compared with C ? p , C ? pl , C ? pu , C ? pk and C ? pm .
