What is the Process Capability-Performance Matrix?

A visual explanation is shown in the image above. The Process Capability-Performance Matrix can be described as a matrix with the following quadrants:

  1. Capable but Underperforming: Processes that are capable but underperforming, e.g. a process that is capable of producing 100 widgets per hour but is only producing 80 widgets per hour.
  2. Capable and Performing Well: Processes that are capable and performing well, e.g. a process that is capable of producing 100 widgets per hour and is producing 100 widgets per hour.
  3. Not Capable but Performing Well: Processes that are not capable but performing well, e.g. a process that is only capable of producing 80 widgets per hour but is producing 100 widgets per hour.
  4. Not Capable and Underperforming: Processes that are not capable and underperforming, e.g. a process that is only capable of producing 80 widgets per hour and is only producing 60 widgets per hour.

What is the purpose of the Process Capability-Performance Matrix?

The Process Capability-Performance Matrix is a 2x2 matrix that helps to visualize the performance of a process relative to its capability. It is used to identify areas of improvement and to measure the success of process improvement efforts.

The matrix is divided into four quadrants, each representing a different combination of process capability and performance. The top-left quadrant represents processes that are capable but underperforming, the top-right quadrant represents processes that are capable and performing well, the bottom-left quadrant represents processes that are not capable but performing well, and the bottom-right quadrant represents processes that are not capable and underperforming.

The Process Capability-Performance Matrix can be used to identify areas of improvement and to measure the success of process improvement efforts. For example, if a process is in the top-left quadrant, it is capable but underperforming, so the goal would be to improve the process to move it into the top-right quadrant. By tracking the performance of the process over time, it is possible to measure the success of process improvement efforts.
