Instead of Six Sigma, your management has asked you to implement a Four (actually 3.99) Sigma (may be the first organization to try this). How many defects can you expect per million opportunities?
A) 30 parts/million B) 60 parts/million. C) 50 parts/million. D) 71. E) 710.
Solution
Six Sigma is a term used to describe a measure of quality control that is higher than \"normal\". Six Sigma at many organizations simply means a measure of quality that strives for near perfection. Six Sigma is a disciplined, data-driven approach and methodology for eliminating defects (driving towards six standard deviations between the mean and the nearest specification limit) in any process -- from manufacturing to transactional and from product to service.
One to six sigma conversion table:
hence the answer is B)
| Long Term Yield\' (basically the percentage of successful outputs or operations)% | Defects per million oppurtunity | process sigma |
| 99.99966 | 3.4 | 6 |
| 99.98 | 233 | 5 |
| 99.4 | 6210 | 4 |
| 93.3 | 66807 | 3 |
| 69.1 | 308538 | 2 |
