A manufacturing company has been inspecting units of output from a process. Each product inspected is evaluated on five criteria. If the unit does not meet standards for the criteria it counts as a defect for the unit. Each unit could have as few as zero defects, and as many as five. After inspecting 2,000 units, they discovered 33 defects. What is the DPMO measure for this process? (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)

    The DPMO measure for this process is "3,300 defects per million opportunities."

    Explanation:

    Defects per opportunity (DPO) = Defects / (test size * Opportunities)

    Defects = 33 units

    Test size = 2000 units

    Number of opportunities for defect = 5

    DPO = 33 / (2000 * 5) = 33/10000

    DPO = 0.0033

    Defects per million opportunities (DPMO) = DPO * 1,000,000

    DPMO = 0.0033 * 1,000,000 = 3300
