Process capability indices provide numerical measures to compare the output of a process to client's expectations. However, most of the existing researches have used traditional distribution frequency method by using a single sample due to assess process capability. An alternative to this approach is to use the Bayesian method. In this paper, we utilize a Bayesian approach based on subsamples to check process capability via capability index C pk . As a new suggestion, we used the informative normal prior distribution and the characteristics of sufficient statistic of the parameter to drive the posterior distribution. The capability test is done, and the posterior probability p, for which the process under investigation is capable, is derived both based on the most popular index C pk . Finally, a numerical example is given to clarify the method.
