Quality & Six Sigma

First pass yield, cost of poor quality and process capability (Cp, Cpk).

FPY and RTY

Calculate rolled throughput yield for a multi-step process, how many parts are reworked and scrapped, the annual cost of the hidden factory and the gain from fixing the worst step.

Hidden factory, rework, scrap

Cost of poor quality

Add up scrap, rework, re-inspection, returns, warranty and penalties with the prevention, appraisal and failure model, see cost of poor quality as a share of revenue and the payback of poka-yoke or vision.

Prevention, appraisal, failures, poka-yoke

Cp and Cpk capability

Paste measurements or enter mean and standard deviation to compute Cp, Cpk, Pp, Ppk and Cpm, out-of-spec PPM, sigma level and normality, with the payoff of reducing variation.
