Product Quality Control Analysis Using the Six Sigma Method with Statistical Process Control [SPC] Data Presentation
Abstract:- PT. XNI is a company that operates in the for controlling or processing quality which is a technique to
automotive manufacturing sector, especially in the ensure that every process used so that the products sent to
production of motorbikes. Motorcycle products from PT. consumers meet quality standards. The SPC method is a

Step 1: Calculating The Opportunity and Total Defacts Step 3: Calculate The Z-Score of the DPMO
Next, we calculate the Z-Score using the formula of

After getting the Z-Score, we can convert it to the Six
