DESCRIPTION
When a processes output does not follow a normal distribution, different tools are needed to assess capability. In this module, you will learn to: determine whether a data set is normal, recognize non-normal data distributions that can be transformed to normal and conduct the transformation and perform a Capability Analysis on non-normal data including a Box Cox Transformation.
The material is suitable for independent study or formal classroom training and includes quiz questions.

• However, many processes do not produce normal data
• Non-normal Capability Analysis allows us to analyze
processes that produce non-normal data
Still need to know if the process is meeting customer
expectations!
Non-normal Capability Analysis
How does the process compare to customer expectations?
• Recall that the calculation of Z
scores and other capability
indices requires normal data

Accounting For Non-normality
• There are two methods that we can use to account for
non-normal data when conducting capability studies:
This method will not provide “within” estimates of process
capability
2. Use Minitab’s Non-Normal
Capability Analysis
Feature:
Requires you to select a
distribution that fits
your data type

Box-Cox Transformation
The Box-Cox transform is a search procedure in Minitab that
evaluates various transforms and identifies the optimum
transform (powers between -5 and 5 are evaluated)

Granularity
1. Find a better measurement system with better
resolution
2. Take an average of multiple readings (subgroup
samples)
Granularity is typically caused by measurement system
resolution. To combat granularity:
