Design to Process Capabilities: challenges for the use of Process Capability Databases (PCDBs) in development

To foster the use of corresponding databases and to stimulate further research, this paper gives an overview about the scope of potential applications for a PCDB in product development. Furthermore, the expected manufacturing accuracy of specific product characteristics/features is discussed. For the generalization of measurement data, a DOE (Design of Experiments)-based approach is proposed to identify influencing factors related to the production accuracy of each geometric feature, using the example of metal shear forming processes.
