Capability Scorecard

From Excel click...

QXL Stat Tools Tab > Analysis Tools > Capability Scorecard

The capability scorecard will calculate defects per unit (dpu), defects per opportunity (dpo), and defects per million opportunities (dpmo) for multiple parts/processes simultaneously.

Step #1: Select data source for the Capability Scorecard.

Before starting the report, it is helpful to have your data set up in the columns Number of Units, Number of Defects, Number of Opportunities (optional), and Name (optional).

Number of Units: The total number of units which could have been defective.

Number of Defects: The number of defects found in the units.

Number of Opportunities: The number of ways each unit could be defective (optional).

Name: A description of each row (optional).

The example below is for a manufacturing process with four steps. The process has four steps with associated defect information.

Quantum XL will calculate the following numerical results.

CapScoreOutput

Total Opportunities

Number of Opportunities * Number of Units = Total Opportunities

Defects per Unit (DPU)

Number of Defects / Number of Units = DPU

Defects per Opportunity (DPO)

Number of Defects / Total Opportunities = DPO

Defects per Million Opportunities (DPMO)

DPO * 1,000,000 = DPMO

Additionally, Quantum XL creates a Pareto Diagram for DPU and DPMO for each of the steps. From the numerical analysis and Pareto diagrams, it is evident that the Deburr is the primary contributor to defects.
