Capability Index

The capability index is a statistical measure to evaluate how well a process or system meets specifications. It compares process data variability with specification limits. A high capability index indicates consistent output meeting specifications, while a low index suggests inability to meet requirements.

Climate Neutrality

Climate neutrality is a state of zero net greenhouse gas emissions, achieved by reducing, removing and offsetting emissions to stop global warming and protect ecosystems.

Compliance

In a broad context, compliance pertains to conforming to regulations, rules, norms, and standards that are pertinent to a particular sphere of activity. It involves the obligation for an organization or individual to operate in alignment with applicable legal, ethical, and regulatory demands.

A control plan is a management tool utilized to oversee activities that enhance processes or products, ultimately aiming to boost customer satisfaction.

Control Plan

A Control Plan is a document that details the key processes, parameters, and control measures needed to ensure product quality and consistency during the manufacturing process, and serves as a tool for monitoring and managing these aspects to minimize variability and prevent problems.

Controlling

Controlling involves monitoring and evaluating actual performance against planned objectives and taking corrective actions as needed. This may include operational adjustments, process changes, or resource reallocation to enhance overall performance.

COP21

COP21, known as the 2015 Paris Climate Conference, led to the Paris Agreement, which unites countries in an effort to limit global warming to less than 2°C above pre-industrial levels.

Correlation Diagram, Correlation

Correlation is used to determine the statistical dependence of the dependent variable (the one we need to find out) on the independent variable (the one we know or can adjust).

CQI

CQI (Continuous Quality Improvement) in metal heat treatment is an AIAG standard focused on improving the quality of processes such as hardening and carburizing, primarily in the automotive industry. The CQI-9 standard sets requirements for controlling, monitoring, and ensuring quality during heat treatment processes.

CRM

CRM stands for Customer Relationship Management. It focuses on actively creating and maintaining mutually beneficial, long-term relationships between customers and the company.

Cryptography

Cryptography involves converting legible text or data into an indecipherable form through mathematical algorithms and keys. The aim of cryptography is to safeguard data to prevent unauthorized access, reading, or alteration while it's being transmitted or stored.
