The process capability is a measurable property of a process to the specification, expressed as a process capability index (e.g., Cpk or Cpm). The output of this measurement is usually illustrated by a chronological control sample, histogram and calculations that predict how many parts will be produced out of specification (OOS).
How to calculate cpk in excel
Three possibilitis:
- add in: excel 2019, excel 2021, office 365 and microsoft account
- template: Excel < Excel 2019 or no Microsoft Account
- calculation online: Excel 2013 – 2021

To calculate adjusted values, you need the Microsoft certified „Sixsigmablackbelt Analysis“ Excel add in.
The easiest way to get the add is to install the add in via Excel.

Template Excel < Excel 2019 or no Microsoft Account
Another way is to use the similar template with macros.
The base for the cpk formula is described here.
