App for Design Profit® 6 Sigma Defect Rate Converter from Munro & Associates, Inc. Now Available
Quickly, easily and accurately determine PPM/DPMO, Cpk, RFT/FTY or Sigma level
TROY, Mich., Nov. 10, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Munro & Associates, Inc., a world class consulting engineering firm, has developed the Design Profit® 6 Sigma Defect Rate Converter App to allow engineers to quickly, easily and accurately convert among: Defect Rate in Parts Per Million (PPM) / Defects Per Million Opportunities (DPMO); Process Capability Index (Cpk); Right First Time (RFT) / First Time Yield (FTY); or Sigma level. Simply enter one of the values within its proper range and the Six Sigma Defect Rate Converter calculates the other three.
The only app available with these capabilities, it allows users to easily and quickly calculate statistical process metrics for quality improvement, productivity, reliability and forecasting. Users, such as engineers, manufacturing floor managers, students, professors and anyone Six Sigma certified, can use this app to access information while on the go, on the shop floor, at the user's desk, or as an at-home reference.
The new app for Android users is available for purchase for $0.99 at Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.DesignProfit.ppmcpkrftcalculator.
Use the app to determine key design criteria, including:
- PPM (sometime known as DPMO), which is the defect rate in parts per million. PPM is a measure of process performance which counts the number of defects per million units produced or services provided. The range is 0 to 1,000,000.
- RFT (sometimes known as FTY) or the percentage of times the unit is produced or services are provided without encountering any quality issues.
- Cpk or the statistical measure of process capability which estimates process ability within specification limits (adjusted for actual shifted mean).
- Sigma, which is a common metric used to measure quality. It is a long-term estimate of the error rate of a process.
