New distribution of cement blocks on three-sigma grid. • ambient temperature, • humidity, and • machine cleanliness. In this case, the method used by the operator to add water, concrete, and sand may vary. The additions made by each operator may vary day to day or operator to operator. The recipe may be subjective, with each operator using slightly different amounts. The percentage of each ingredient needs to be calculated and controlled based on the size of the batch, and there also may be a need to modify the recipe based on different weather conditions.
Bell-curve distribution with a narrowed population. 4 defects would be produced for every million opportunities. The process is then said to be operating at Six-Sigma performance levels. The goal is to have a narrow base that falls within +3 and –3 sigma limits. If any parts fall outside of these limits, there is a chance that unacceptable variation (a defect as defined by the customer) will be produced. Figure 2-4.
