ting Sigma Level for Counted Defects

Excel Formulae
(do not include spaces and use numbers instead of labels)

= (Defects / (Opportunities per Unit * Units Produced) x 1000000

= Long Term Sigma Level + Sigma Shift

Based on empirical evidence

= NORMSINV(1- (Defects / (Opportunities Per Unit * Units Produced))

ating Sigma Level for Measured Data

Excel Formulae
(do not include spaces and use numbers instead of labels)

= (USL - Mean) / Std Dev

= (Mean - LSL) / Std Dev

= 1 - NORMSDIST(Zusl)

= 1 - NORMSDIST(Zlsl)

= PAS + PBS

= NORMSINV (1 - TPOS)

= Short Term Sigma Level - Sigma Shift
