The patient surveys indicate that they are willing to wait between 20 and 40 minutes before seeing Dr. Patel. Calculate the process capability index and capability ratio at the three-sigma level. Is the process capable of meeting this demand at the three-sigma level? Question 2 Chapter 6: Read and watch the video for the case “Lean Systems at Autoliv” (pages 241&242).
