Question 2. DPMO Calculation (10 Marks)
i) Consider a cell phone manufacturer who wants to calculate the six sigma level of its manufacturing
process. For a given period, the manufacturer makes 83,934 cell phones. The manufacturer is required
to perform eight checks to test the quality of its products. During testing phase, 3,432 of the cell phones
were rejected.
ii) Out of 730 modules in a software program, 18 bugs were found when 4 critical check points
were tested. What is the quality level in sigma units for this process?
iii) 500 health reports from a diagnostic laboratory were inspected for 5 different characteristics
before dispatch. We observed 224 defects. What is the sigma level?
iv) Phone calls are recorded at a call Centre and later evaluated. A sample of 200 calls are heard by
the quality representatives and evaluated based on a Call Quality checklist. There are 14 opportunities
for error in each call. 284 defects were observed in the sample of 200 calls. What is the sigma level?

Question 6. An engine manufacturer uses a forging process to produce piston
rings. The forging process is in control, and now the quality engineers want to
assess the process capability. They collect twenty-five samples of five piston
rings. The specification limits for piston ring diameter are 74.0 ± 0.05.
