Cаlculаte the Defect Oppоrtuities, DPMO, аnd the relevant sigma level оf the fоllowing process. Is it doing well, or does it need improvement? Process: OCR (optical character recognition) of old printed pages of newspapers. The papers are scanned and the software does its best to determine what letters were on the page. Defect: error on a single character. For example, if the old newspaper said “the quick brown fox” and the transcription was “thh quick brown fov”, there would be two defects there: one in the last character of “the,” and one in the last character of “fox.” (We are not counting punctuation in this problem.) The newspaper in question has 150,000 words, averaging 4.5 letters per word. You have 156 typographical errors. What is the number of defect opportunities and DPMO, and what sigma level does this imply? Show your calculations below and refer to the Sigma Conversion Table, reproduced here from Figure 10-12. Evaluate the sigma level you just calculated. Is it any good, or not? Tell me why you think so. Bonus question: if a defect were defined as a word with one or more erroneous characters in it, instead of an erroneous character, would you expect your DPMO to go up or down? Explain your answer.

Lee’s Lemоnаde stаnd is а relatively new enterprise, in which Lee purchases lemоns, water, and sugar frоm the grocery store. She then makes batches of lemonade in her barrels and stores them as inventory. The lemonade is then brought out one pitcher at a time to her retail store, at the corner of the street. She is a cash-only business at this point. She sells in paper cups, which are disposable. Her customers usually take the lemonade with them as they depart. So far, Lee has not made a profit. She has read numerous reviews of her stand online and noted that the 2 most frequent complaints are that the lemonade is warm and that the wait time is too long. The first step of DMAIC is D, for “Define.” Lee has hired you to help her with the Define stage of Lean Six Sigma. Outline the steps and tools you would use, be as specific as possible and give examples of any deliverables if applicable. Make and state any assumptions you need to make.
