question 2:
The two core process capability indexes (e.g. Cp, Cpk) are often
described as among the most valuable pieces of data needed to properly
understand and manage organizational processes and product

indexes to make recommendations to management regarding changes or
investments that can be made in key organizational or product-related
processes. Describe any patterns you might look for in these indexes
and discuss how such patterns can be used to understand or predict
improvement outcomes.
