The Defects Per Million Opportunities (DPMO) can be calculated using a process sigma table to approximate the sigma value.

A normal distribution curve is also known as a probability curve, where the repeatable value is in the middle and other provable values tail off symmetrically to the left and to the right of the curve.

There are eight control chart rules that are typically used when there are special causes of variation that need to be addressed.

Key Questions

The following key questions are answered in this module:

What does the term sigma represent?
Sigma, the eighteenth letter in the Greek alphabet, is used to represent a statistical term called "standard deviation."

When should process sigma conversion tables be used?
Process sigma conversion tables should be used to select the nearest sigma level based on the DPMO calculated.

What criteria should be used when selecting a Six Sigma project?
A potential project should have a financial impact or business value, improve performance significantly over existing performance level, and resolve a business problem.

What is the difference between mean and median?
Mean represents the value most likely to occur in a data population, while the median value is the actual mid-point of a given specification range.

What are the three main steps to make a Ishikawa (Fishbone) Diagram?
Start by naming the main problem or event, make categories for causes and create the "bone structure" of your fish, and identify where and why a process is not performing.
