Hi Rudolph,
If I'm not mistaken, a 1.66 Cp means you're satisfying across 10 std
deviations, not 6. Measuring across 6 std deviations would yield a Cp
of 1.0. However even with inclusion of outliers, especially for
printing a high volume batch, reaching a 1.66 using a 25% tol would be
achievable. What is your std deviation and sample size?
Regards,
Andy
