Let us understand the concept of Cp and Cpk. Cp is an indicator of process capability. Cpk is process capability index adjustment of Cp for the effect of non-centered distribution. Cpk tells about the process capability and whether the process will be able to meet the requirement of the designer.

Hence Cp and Cpk are for " computing the index with respect to ...
