Stable process can be called a process in which variability is the result of many accidental causes, resulting in minor changes, not a specified number of reasons, resulting in significant changes in the parameter values. In the article the map of process stability, which is a result of process stability (X axis) and product quality (Y axis), was used. This map consists of four areas. The area called “Leave the process without any changes or possibly make small corrections” is the most important and most valuable one. The data for the construction of this map was obtained from the results of BOST survey carried out in the company from the metal industry. At the beginning the structure of the respondents participated in the survey was presented. Analysis of results consists of the number of individual evaluations for both factors, as well as the distribution of evaluation pairs in each area of the map. Statistical analysis of the results was also presented.
