Purpose

To provide analysis tools and metrics useful in manufacturing environments.

Go to the documentation.

Project Maturity

Project is currently undergoing frequent updates for documentation and to add functionality and update documentation!! Screenshots and features that you see on here may be out of date, but are in progress.

Current focus is to add more plot types.

Installation

To install from pypi:

pip install manufacturing

To install from source download and install using poetry:

poetry install

Usage

Cpk Visualization

The most useful feature of the manufacturing package is the visualization of Cpk. As hinted previously, the ppk_plot() function is the primary method for display of Cpk visual information. First, get your data into a list, numpy.array, or pandas.Series; then supply that data, along with the lower_control_limit and upper_control_limit into the ppk_plot() function.

manufacturing.ppk_plot(data, lower_specification_limit=-2, upper_specification_limit=2)

In this example, it appears that the manufacturing processes are not up to the task of making consistent product within the specified limits.

Zone Control Visualization

Another useful feature is the zone control visualization.

manufacturing.control_chart(data)

There are X-MR charts, Xbar-R charts, and Xbar-S charts available as well. If you call the control_chart() function, the appropriate sample size will be selected and data grouped as the dataset requires. However, if you wish to call a specific type of control chart, use

• x_mr_chart
• xbar_r_chart
• xbar_s_chart
• p_chart
