Abstract
In statistical quality control, as in other statistical problems, we may be confronted with fuzzy concepts. This paper deals with the problem of process capability estimation, when the observation and the specification limits are fuzzy rather than crisp. In other words, this paper illustrate how a researcher can use “FuzzyNumbers” Package in R software to exactly plot the membership function of capability indices based on fuzzy data and crisp specification limits.
