One of the most important tools of statistical quality control is a process capability analysis. In order to measure process capability the most used are indices constructed for one-dimensional characteristic of production process. However often production process is described by more than one characteristic. One should then conduct a multidimensional assessment of process capability with appropriately designed indicators. The aim of this article is to analyze the problem of process capability measure of multi-dimensional process with dependent characteristics, using a proposed multidimensional process capability index.
The quality control aiming to provide a desired level of quality of produced products, requires bearing significant expenses. The structure of expenditure spent on quality assurance, due to its multidimensional nature, should be known and constantly monitored in order to detect the changes taking place therein. In this paper a proposal for a method to verify the hypothesis about the stability of the cost structure is presented. The method applies a statistical testing procedure based on permutations. In the presented example the real data coming from the acceptance inspection carried out in factory in Silesia have been used.
