ABOUT 6

6s

s Calculator

Calculator has been developed by

Bob Munn , GE Lighting Europe , Northampton UK

It uses the table of Six Sigma conversion values circulated by the
Six Sigma Black Belt team. Use only where the table is valid.
Please feel free to amend 6s Calculator to suit your needs, and to share with
anyone who wants it.
The concept of automatically finding Sigma values from the table can be
incorporated into spread sheets used to generate reports.
