Many of our customers have on-going process capability requirements for special characteristics. We do a good job of tracking the on-going process capability within a software program. I would be interested on hearing some approaches on the systems that others have in place to review and act on this kind of information. Do you have teams that reviews the data and reacts as needed? Is there a set frequency for reviewing the data? If you show low capability do you automatically move into 100% inspection?
