Abstract

This paper refers to the process capability indices in the field of management to set up Body Mass Indices (BMI), which can be used to evaluate and compare the BMI values of people at different ages as a group. A large number of improvement plans were brought up to settle obesity problems; however, there could be up to thousands or even tens of thousands of subjects involved. With BMI, the results and effects of the plans can be evaluated by sampling, a characteristic of BMI. Therefore, BMI has served as an accurate, easy and convenient measurement to evaluate group BMI.
