Cp, Cpk, Pp, Ppk? More than acronyms, they’re the key to trusting your process 📊

Do you really know what these capability indices indicate?
Or do you calculate them… without being clear on how to interpret them?

Capability indices are essential to know if your process:

✅ Is stable
✅ Is centered
✅ Meets customer tolerances
✅ And above all… if it can be trusted

📊 In Visual Factory SPC we calculate these indices automatically, but the most important thing is understanding what they mean and how to use them.

🔗 That’s why we’re sharing this article from our blog, where we explain everything in detail with practical examples:

🎯 If your Cpk values seem low… or if you don’t know when to use Ppk, this read is for you.

CAF unifies calibration management across all its plants with Visual Factory Calibre

CAF unifies calibration management across all its plants with Visual Factory Calibre

💼 CAF, a leading company in global rail mobility solutions, has trusted Visual Factory Calibre to unify calibration management across all its Vehicle Business plants.
This standardization has not only centralized information and improved traceability but also established common criteria and automated key actions in the calibration subprocess.

📍We share the full testimonial from Juan Fco Rodríguez, Head of Calibrations for the Vehicle Business at CAF:

CAF has been working with ELECSOFT’s Visual Factory Calibre software for several years, but in an isolated way, without maintenance or updates.
In 2022, the decision was made to launch a unification project for the software across all CAF Vehicle Business plants, from a single server and with a single version for everyone.
With the implementation of Visual Factory Calibre, it has been possible to unify and organize a systematic approach to the calibration subprocess at CAF, achieving the following improvements:

  • Establish a single family criterion

  • Define common acceptance criteria for each tool family

  • Automatically notify equipment owners when expiration dates approach

  • Generate equipment certificates directly through the software, since CAF’s internal calibration instructions have been integrated

  • Extract calibration indicators from the subprocess using the software

This software has also been implemented in other CAF businesses, such as RRSS (Maintenance Business), in the WEB version, with the same results. It is currently being installed in the Rehabilitations Business.

Visual Factory SPC: simplicity, agility, and compliance for the automotive industry

In an environment where time matters and errors are costly, statistical process control must be agile and useful right from the shop floor.

That’s why we created Visual Factory SPC, a solution that doesn’t overwhelm with complex calculations but focuses on what really matters:

🔹 Complying with automotive industry standards (such as IATF 16949)
🔹 Enabling self-control directly from the workstation
🔹 Allowing operators to input data without depending on technical staff
🔹 Detecting and anticipating variations before they impact production

Quality shouldn’t be managed from the office, but where it’s actually produced.
