This Excel File allows for calculations of Defect per million levels and Confidence Intervals.

Instructions: File in the value in the yellow boxes.

Worksheet Tabs:
DPM

May be used to compute Part Per Million Defects and Process Potential given specif

Sigma Levels

May be used to compute a sigma level from a PPM defect number.

Allowable Mean Deviation

May be used to compute the # of standard deviations a mean can drift and still meet

Cp Confidence Interval

May be used to compute Confidence Intervals on Cp

Mean Confidence Interval

May be used to compute Confidence Intervals on a mean.

Variance Confidence Interval May be used to compute Confidence Intervals on variance.
