Question

My product that I will count defects in is a box of Junior mints. These are one of my favorite candies but a lot of the time I pull out some that are squished, chipped, or not round like they are supposed to be. I will be considering any of the mints that are misshaped, squashed, or missing pieces of the outside chocolate as defective.

The results of my box of junior mints shows out of a total of 21 mints there were 11 defects. 7 of the mints were squashed, 3 mints were misshaped, and 1 mint was missing the chocolate on the outside.

The six-sigma quality level:

  • DPMO: 523,809.52380952385
  • Defects: 52.38%
  • Yield: 47.62%
  • Process Sigma: 1.44
