e purpose of this research is to develop a maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) for lifetime performance index C
L
for the
parameter of mixture Rayleigh-Half Normal distribution (RHN) under progressively type-II right-censored samples under the
constraint of knowing the lower specification limit (L). Additionally, we suggest an asymptotic normal distribution for the MLE
for C
L
in order to construct a mechanism for evaluating products’ lifespan efficiency. We have specified all the steps to carry out
the test. Additionally, not only does hypothesis testing successfully assess the lifetime performance of items, but it also functions as
a supplier selection criterion for the consumer. Finally, we have added two real data examples as illustration examples. ese two
applications are provided to demonstrate how the results can be applied.
1. Introduction
Process capability analysis is an efficient method for de-
termining a production process’s performance and pro-
spective capabilities. In manufacturing sectors, process
capability indices (PCIs) are used to determine if the quality
of the product meets specified standards. PCIs have garnered
considerable interest in the statistical literature during the
last three decades. e key motivation for analyzing the
process capacity producing PCI is to evaluate the process’s
performance and potential capabilities.
Process capability analysis aids in the following ways:
continuously monitoring process quality using PCI to en-
sure produced goods adhere to requirements, giving in-
formation on product development to manufacturers and
specialists, and establishing a foundation for lowering item
failures. e PCIs are classified into three categories: the first
is used to quantify the target-the-better quality feature, the
second is used to quantify the larger-the-better quality
characteristic, and the third is used to quantify the smaller-
the-better quality characteristic. For more information and
extra details, see [1].
Due to a variety of variables such as time limits or other
constraints on money, material resources, or data collection,
the researcher may be unable to track the lifespan of all
commodities or things in a test. As a result, it is possible that
censored samples will be encountered during operation.
Proper filtering happens when just the lifetime’s lower limit is
known. When only the lifetime cutoff is set, proper filtering
occurs. One type of right censorship is referred to as “type-II
censorship.” is type of censorship may occur when a certain
number of failures occur during the lifespan experiment.
Progressive type-II censorship occurred when our at-
tention shifted from monitoring n goods to monitoring until
the m
th
failure occurs, and then, the test is ended. As the i
th
item fails, r
i
of the items that still functional are cut off from
