Statistical properties of control charts and capability models

The diploma thesis is focused on process stability and capability assessment. It describes certain types of control charts, basic capability indices as well as Box-Cox transformation. The practical part of the study is concerned with applying control charts on generated data and consequently on real data. By this, it focuses on comparing various methods of estimating sample standard deviation and on the impact of non-compliance with the assumption of normal distribution of process variable on process stability and capability assessment
