JMP Wish List

Multivariate Process Capability

What inspired this wish list request? Please describe the current issue that needs improvement or the problem to be solved that is not easy or possible right now, with an example use case. 

In many industrial processes, it is common to assess multiple quality characteristics simultaneously. These characteristics often exhibit correlation. Introducing multivariable process capability into JMP would be beneficial to practitioners, allowing for a more comprehensive capability analysis that considers these correlations.

 

What is the improvement you would like to see? Please describe the idea for improving JMP. Please include mock-ups, wireframes, screenshots, scripts, other documents or examples from other software that help describe the change you would like to see. 

I propose the addition of multivariate process indices and corresponding visualizations to the JMP Quality platform. These tools would enable users to assess multivariate process capabilities more effectively. This functionality is available in StatGraphics software (documentation and screenshot attached).

 

Why is this idea important? Please describe the value to you and/or other users if the idea is implemented (for example, ease of use, must have,…).

Many processes require simultaneous evaluation of multiple dimensions for effective quality control. The ability to consider correlations between quality variables in capability assessments is important. Implementing multivariable process capability in JMP would offer a valuable tool for holistic process performance assessment.

 

@PatrickGiuliano thanks for the support!

This would be a great add! I like the Model Driven Multivariate Control Chart for monitoring the process stability, so a multivariate process capability metric would also pair nicely together. I have some content I could share with JMP staff as well in clunky workarounds for trying to solve this problem manually.

Thank you for submitting this request and the supporting details @anchildress, and for commenting @jszarka . We've had other requests to add this functionality, and will investigate for potential inclusion in a future release.
