Sport utility vehicle body and tall interior packaging, a high seating position and center of gravity, and available all-wheel drive for off-road capability. Some SUVs include the towing capacity of a pickup truck with the passenger-carrying space of a minivan or large sedan. The traditional truck-based SUV is more and more being supplanted by unitary body SUVs and crossovers based on regular automobile platforms for lighter weight and better fuel efficiency. In some countries, notably the United States, SUVs are "not" classified as cars, but as "light trucks". SUVs overtook lower medium segment cars to become the world's largest automotive segment in 2015,
Process capability index would have more benefits if focused on what are the real risks of having a part borderline out of specification. The loss function of Taguchi better illustrates this concept. At least one academic expert recommends the following: However where a process produces a characteristic with a capability index greater than 2.5, the unnecessary precision may be expensive. The mapping from process capability indices, such as C, to measures of process fallout is straightforward. Process fallout quantifies how many defects a process produces and is measured by DPMO or PPM. Process yield is the complement of process fallout and is approximately
