Defects per Million Opportunities (DPMC), how, when, and why it is used.

About this episode

Defects per Million Opportunities (DPMO) is a statistical measurement that helps businesses measure and improve their quality control processes. The concept of DPMO is simple: it measures the number of defects that occur in a process per one million opportunities for a defect to occur. In this blog post, we will discuss what DPMO is, how it is used, and how companies can use it to improve their processes.

Defects per Million Opportunities (DPMO) is part of the Six Sigma Black Belt Body Of Knowledge by Management and Strategy Institute.
