Overview
ISO 22514-3:2020 - "Statistical methods in process management - Capability and performance - Part 3" provides guidance for conducting short‑term machine performance studies using measured data on discrete parts. It defines the steps for data collection, analysis and reporting to evaluate a machine’s performance under repeatability conditions, and describes machine performance indices and recommended actions following a study. The standard is intended for short, focused studies (acceptance trials, diagnostics, problem solving) rather than long-term production monitoring.
Key topics and requirements
- Scope and pre‑conditions: Studies assume parts produced consecutively under repeatability conditions. Not applicable when tool wear patterns or autocorrelation between observations are expected, nor when extremely high‑frequency data (thousands of points per minute) are captured.
- Sample size guidance: Typical study size is 100 observations (at least 100 when non‑normal patterns expected); minimum recommended size is 30 observations. Audit situations may use smaller samples (e.g., ~50).
- Data collection essentials: Emphasis on measurement system adequacy, traceability of data, specimen retention and consistent study conditions (same operator, material batch, etc.).
- Analysis methods: Practical techniques include run charts and probability plots to assess patterns and distributional assumptions (normal vs non‑normal). The standard describes data handling, special cases (skewed, bimodal, truncated, censored data) and both software and manual approaches to analysis.
- Performance indices and confidence intervals: Machine performance indices (P and related indices) are calculated and reported; guidance on confidence intervals is provided for indices computed from normally and non‑normally distributed data.
- Reporting and actions: Requirements for test reports and recommended follow‑up actions based on study results are included.
Practical applications
- Machine acceptance testing and supplier evaluation
- Diagnostic studies to determine if a machine requires maintenance or adjustment
- Short‑term capability assessments during installation, qualification or process improvement initiatives
- Input to problem‑solving and root‑cause analysis where the machine is isolated as the primary source of variation
Who should use this standard
- Process and manufacturing engineers
- Quality engineers and metrology specialists
- Production supervisors and maintenance planners
- Consultants performing capability and performance assessments
Related standards
- ISO 22514 series (other parts cover broader capability and performance concepts and methods)
- Relevant standards on measurement system analysis and statistical process control (consult ISO catalogue for related parts)
Keywords: ISO 22514-3, machine performance studies, process capability, capability indices, run chart, probability plot, short‑term study, discrete parts, statistical methods, sample size guidance.

Introduction
This document has been prepared to provide guidance in circumstances where a study is necessary
to determine if the output from a machine, for example, is acceptable according to some criteria. Such
circumstances are common in engineering when the purpose for the study is part of an acceptance
trial. These studies can also be used when diagnosis is required concerning a machine’s current level of
performance or as part of a problem-solving effort. The method is very versatile and has been applied
to many situations.
Machine performance studies of this type provide information about the behaviour of a machine under
very restricted conditions such as limiting, as far as possible, external sources of variation that are
commonplace within a process, e.g. multi-factor and multi-level situations. The data gathered in a
study might come from items made consecutively, although this may be altered according to the study
requirements. The data are assumed to have been, generally, gathered manually.
The study procedure and reporting are of interest to engineers, supervisors and management wishing
to establish whether a machine should be purchased or put in for maintenance, to assist in problem-
solving or to understand the level of variation due to the machine itself.

5 Pre-conditions for application
5.1 General
The pre-conditions given in 5.2 and 5.6 are the minimum and may be exceeded if needed. In this type
of study, it is important to maintain constant all factors, other than the machine, which can influence
the results, if the study is to properly represent the machine itself, e.g. the same operator, same batch of
material, etc.
5.2 Number of parts to be used in the study
The number specified is usually 100. However, if the pattern of variation is expected to form a non-
normal distribution, the number of parts should be at least 100. The methods given within this document
may also be used when conducting audits of a process, in which case the number of measurements
taken might be less than the above number, e.g. 50.
NOTE 1 This is to ensure that a reasonably narrow confidence interval can be calculated for the machine
performance indices when a normal distribution has been used. The interval is approximately ±12 % of the
estimated index with a confidence of 90 % for samples of 100.
Some machines have very slow cycle times and a ‘run’ cannot produce 100 parts. In such circumstances,
it is necessary to proceed with available data. The minimum number that this document recommends
with the methods described herein is 30.
NOTE 2 Special techniques beyond the scope of this document exist for smaller sample sizes.
By contrast, for a machine that produces parts at a very high rate, e.g. a rivet-making machine,
the sampling strategy can require alteration since 100 parts can be produced in a few seconds. In
circumstances such as these, several studies can be required each allowing a different sampling
approach to examine the machine’s behaviour.

5.3 Materials to be used
Ensure all input materials to be used in the study have been checked, conform to specifications and
belong to the same batches. It is not advised that a study be conducted with materials that are outside
specification since this could lead to unrepresentative results.
Care should be exercised not to introduce any other sources of variation other than those to be studied.
A typical example is where a machine run has to change to another batch of a particular material within
a single process batch, and batch material variation is not included in the study. In this instance, only
data taken while the first batch of that particular material was in use should be used in the analysis.
5.4 Measurement system
Ensure the measurement system used during the study has adequate properties and is calibrated,
and the measurement system variation has been quantified and minimized. Special studies on
the measurement system should be undertaken to establish the amount of variation present due to
measuring. The measurement system should ideally have a combined standard uncertainty u of less
MS
than 10 % of the standard deviation of the characteristic that the machine study is to investigate, as
determined through a properly conducted measurement systems analysis. This analysis should address
the issues of bias, calibration, linearity and discrimination. The resolution shall be lower than 1/20 of
the specification interval.
It is appropriate to calculate the expanded uncertainty U of the measurement process and to express
MP
the result as a percentage of a given tolerance. If the expanded uncertainty U does not exceed
MP
15 % of the tolerance, it may be regarded as acceptable, dependent upon application. If it exceeds
15 %, the measurement process should be regarded as inappropriate. Should a study be performed
using a measurement process with an uncertainty worse than these recommendations, some wrong
conclusions can be drawn from the study. Refer to ISO 22514-7 for more information about the
calculation of the measurement system and measurement process capability. Users who prefer doing
measurement systems analysis and gauge repeatability and reproducibility can refer to ISO/TR 12888
for more information.
5.5 Running the study
Ensure an uninterrupted run takes place, under normal operating conditions. This includes any warm-
up time for the machine necessary to bring it up to its usual operating condition and with the machine
set at nominal for the characteristic to be studied. If the machine is stopped during the study for
whatever reason, either re-run the study or analyse the data collected, as long as sufficient data have
been collected and as long as the repeatability conditions have not been violated. Under no circumstance
shall less than 30 consecutive results be used, to conclude the acceptance of the machine performance.
5.6 Special circumstances
In a multiple fixture set-up, multiple-cavity or multi-stream situation, each station, fixture, cavity or
stream should be treated as a separate machine for machine performance purposes since those streams
can violate the repeatability conditions.
In the case of a multiple-cavity tool, some extra studies may be performed to examine the between-
cavity and within-cavity variation, see ISO 22514-8.
6 Data collection
6.1 Traceability of data
It is important for all data to be traceable so that unexpected values can be investigated. The
collection sequence should be preserved so that a time series can be plotted of the data that might
indicate unexpected variations. Such occurrences should be explained, and a decision taken about the
admissibility of such data. A ‘log-book’ would be suitable for recording all machine settings, including
any prior work on the machine, e.g. maintenance, and for recording all events during the study, such as
adjustments.
6.2 Retention of specimens
Unless the tests performed are destructive in their nature, all specimens should be retained so that all
necessary examinations can be made. They should only be disposed of once the study is complete and
all conclusions determined.
6.3 Data recording
Data should be clearly recorded either electronically or on the appropriate analysis sheet in numerical
form to the appropriate number of significant digits, often one significant digit more than that of the
tolerance. This should be determined prior to the measuring process and is dependent on the resolution
of the measuring instrument.
7 Analysis
7.1 General
The analysis of the data generated in the study is often performed using computer programs, or

set at nominal for the characteristic to be studied. If the machine is stopped during the study for
whatever reason, either re-run the study or analyse the data collected, as long as sufficient data have
been collected and as long as the repeatability conditions have not been violated. Under no circumstance
shall less than 30 consecutive results be used, to conclude the acceptance of the machine performance.
5.6 Special circumstances
In a multiple fixture set-up, multiple-cavity or multi-stream situation, each station, fixture, cavity or
stream should be treated as a separate machine for machine performance purposes since those streams
can violate the repeatability conditions.
In the case of a multiple-cavity tool, some extra studies may be performed to examine the between-
cavity and within-cavity variation, see ISO 22514-8.
6 Data collection
6.1 Traceability of data
It is important for all data to be traceable so that unexpected values can be investigated. The
collection sequence should be preserved so that a time series can be plotted of the data that might
indicate unexpected variations. Such occurrences should be explained, and a decision taken about the
admissibility of such data. A ‘log-book’ would be suitable for recording all machine settings, including
any prior work on the machine, e.g. maintenance, and for recording all events during the study, such as
adjustments.
6.2 Retention of specimens
Unless the tests performed are destructive in their nature, all specimens should be retained so that all
necessary examinations can be made. They should only be disposed of once the study is complete and
all conclusions determined.
6.3 Data recording
Data should be clearly recorded either electronically or on the appropriate analysis sheet in numerical
form to the appropriate number of significant digits, often one significant digit more than that of the
tolerance. This should be determined prior to the measuring process and is dependent on the resolution
of the measuring instrument.
7 Analysis
7.1 General
The analysis of the data generated in the study is often performed using computer programs, or by
manual means, examples of which are given within this clause.
7.2 Run chart
7.2.1 Purpose
When conducting a machine study, it is important to understand whether the data collected form a
single and stable pattern or not. There are occasions when the conditions within the machine under
study lead to a drift in its settings that influence the pattern of data produced. There might be occasions
when an unauthorized adjustment has been made to the machine, or data have been mixed in some way.
Such an event should stop the stu

Frequently Asked Questions
SIST ISO 22514-3:2021 is a standard published by the Slovenian Institute for Standardization (SIST). Its full title is "Statistical methods in process management - Capability and performance - Part 3: Machine performance studies for measured data on discrete parts". This standard covers: This document describes the steps for conducting short-term performance studies that are typically performed on machines (including devices, appliances, apparatuses) where parts produced consecutively under repeatability conditions are considered. The number of observations to be analysed vary according to the patterns the data produce, or if the runs (the rate at which items are produced) on the machine are low in quantity. The methods are not considered suitable where the sample size produced is less than 30 observations. Methods for handling the data and carrying out the calculations are described. In addition, machine performance indices and the actions required at the conclusion of a machine performance study are described. This document is not applicable when tool wear patterns are expected to be present during the duration of the study, nor if autocorrelation between observations is present. The situation where a machine has captured the data, sometimes thousands of data points collected in a minute, is not considered suitable for the application of this document.
