Line 15:
From a management standpoint, when an organization is under pressure to set up a new process quickly and economically, P<SUB>pk</SUB> is a convenient metric to gauge how set-up is progressing (increasing P<SUB>pk</SUB> being interpreted as "the process capability is improving"). The risk is that P<SUB>pk</SUB> is taken to mean a process is ready for production before all the kinks have been worked out of it.
Once a process is put into a state of statistical control, process capability is described using [[Process capability index|process capability indices]], which are formulaically identical to P<SUB>pk</SUB> (and P<SUB>p</SUB>). The indices are named differently in order to call attention to whether the process under study is believed to be in control or not.
