Defect rates as Defects Per Million Opportunities to a Sigma
process value
This table includes the 1.5 long-term shift, is based on a one-sided tail of the normal
distribution (not two sides), and has been rounded to a degree of accuracy
appropriate for the vast majority of situations. Greater accuracy will only be appropriate
where sampling and measurement accuracy permit. Alternative table,
further details, and a working DPMO calculator are included in our
free
Six Sigma Calculator e-book.
