Jude: Convert each Cpk to a standard normal deviate;
i.e., Z=Cpk*3. Next, you must convert Z to equivalent
yield (in Excel use normsdist(Z)). After this, you need to
multiply all of the yield values to get the rolled throughput
yield … Y.rt = Y1 * Y2 * … * Yn, where n is the number of
yield values (i.e., the number of Cpks you converted).
Then normalize the rolled yield by computting Y.norm=
Y.rt^(1/n). Finally, convert Y.norm to a Z value (using
Excel) and then divide by 3 to get the final answer …
Cpk.norm = Z.norm / 3. The resulting normalized Cpk is
“kind of like an average” but is statistically valid. Kind
