A good place to look for this kind of information is ANSI/IPC-PC-90 General
Requirements for Implementation of Statistical Process Control which is
available from the IPC.  Page 5 defines Cpk as equal to the min of CPL,CPU
where CPL is process performance related to lower specification limit and
CPU is process performance related to upper specification limit.
I have seen this also defined as a ratio that compares the width of the
tolerance to the capability or spread in the output of the process taking
into account any lack of centering..
