Define This stage aims to define problems that occur in the production process. From the total number of defects and
types of defective products that occurred in the 1st and 2nd month period in this study.
Measure At this stage, what is done is: using check sheets to monitor the condition of machines, raw materials and

Analyze In this stage, statistical analysis is used to see patterns of problems in the production process, what causes them
and how they can occur.

Where
Total Defact = 95 + 91 + 97 + 89 + 372 = 744 14,801.53

With DPMO = 14,801.53 and Z-Score ≈ 2.05, then the
So, DPMO = 14,801.53. Six Sigma Level for this data is about 4 Sigma. So, the quality

 Total Defact is the total number of defective products: Where

Total Defact = 64+52+48+32+192 = 388 DPMO = (1 - 7,664.79/1.000.000) = Φ−1(0.992335)

formula:  Step 4: Determining the Six Sigma Level
After getting the Z-Score, we can convert it to the Six
DPMO = (Total Defact x 1.000.000 )/(Total Opportunity) Sigma level. Based on the calculated Z-Score:

DPMO = (388×1,000,000)/50,648 = 7,664.79 • Z ≈ 2.41 means level 4 Sigma.

So, DPMO = 7,664.79. Conclusion: With DPMO = 7,664.79 and Z-Score ≈


2.41, then the Six Sigma Level for this data is about 4 Sigma.
So, the quality level of this process is at Level 4 Sigma .
