(AP206) Machine capability check (pdf)

Productive Process Pattern™ from the process setting layer of the Productive Process Pyramid™. Use a workpiece inspection probe to perform a machine capability test before machining. Commence machining only if the machine is within the capability limits defined for the component. Measuring known reference features shows the machine is capable of positioning itself accurately and repeatably, or if there is a capability problem.
