16 ASQ STATISTICS DIVISION NEWSLETTER, VOL. 18, NO. 1 Process capability indices have been popular for over20 years, since Joseph Juran12popularized the CapabilityRatio (Cr) in his Quality Control Handbook. Eagerness toestablish a single index to measure process capability hasresulted in the proliferation of indices: Cp/Cpk, Vp/Vpk,Pp/Ppk, Cpm, Tz, %OOL, PPM, and more recently Generalized Cp/Cpk. Abuse of these indices is welldocumented (Gunter)8. Though simple to compute, theycan lead to scorekeeping by management, incorrect inter-pretations and tampering, with little or no product orprocess improvement.
