The Manage Limits report contains several tables that enable you to enter specification limits or other column property metadata for each process column that was specified in the Manage Limits launch window. The report also contains buttons to load and save specification limits and save the information to column properties.

• Buttons
The Process Capability section of the Manage Limits report enables you to add specification limits and define the Process Capability distribution for each process column.
The table in the Spec Limits section contains a row for each process column that was specified in the Manage Limits launch window. For each column, you can add specification limits as well as use the following options:
Show Limits
Specifies that the Show as Graph Reference Lines option is selected in the Spec Limits column property for the specified column.
Process Importance
Specifies the process importance value for each column. Process importance values provide a mechanism to sort processes in a preferred order. Process importance values are used to size markers in many platform graphs.
Units
Specifies the units for each column.
The table in the Process Capability Distribution section contains a row for each process column that was specified in the Manage Limits launch window. You can define a Process Capability distribution for each process.
The table in the Process Screening section contains a row for each process column that was specified in the Manage Limits launch window. For each column, you can specify the centerline, specified sigma, and measurement sigma. Once you save your specifications, you can use them when you launch the Process Screening platform. See “Limits Table”.
The table in the MSA section contains a row for each process column that was specified in the Manage Limits launch window. For each column, you can specify the lower and upper tolerance or tolerance range, reference, resolution, historical mean, and historical process sigma. Once you save your specifications, you can use them in the Measurement Systems Analysis (MSA), Type 1 Gauge, and Variability Chart platforms. See “Measurement Systems Analysis”, “Type 1 Gauge Analysis”, and “Variability Gauge Charts”.
