SteelW, I think you just answered your own question.
"Our registrar is coming in a few months to add this new line to the scope of our certification, and of course she'll be looking for "capability studies." Any advice on how to present this, since we ARE capable but "statistically speaking" we aren't?"
"By the way, whichever one of you asked if it's .001 off what happens? Nothing - we can't detect that on a tape, but neither can our customer, who also uses a tape. We send it, customer uses it, all is well with the world of raw material! Bizarre, I know, but with a spec like Base+.125 that's all they're looking for."
IMO develop an GO/NO-GO gage and plot results on a "P or NP Chart". This will verify process control and also you can monitor the attribute Cpk.
