Worksheet For Calculating Process Sigma

Continuous Data Long-Term

1. Label The Normal Curve With The Following:

n X value
Xbar
Example: n X+s value
n USL & Shade Area To The Right S
n LSL & Shade Area To The Left USL
LSL = 8 s USL = 22 s LSL
Area 2 sigma=
Area 1

10 18
x x+s

2. Determine Area 1:
USL – x ( )–( )
Find Z1 Z1 = = = 0.9632923368
s ( )
702009 O ##

Look up Z1 in Normal Table Norm Dist (Z1) = Normal Table Look Up for Z1 = 0.8322995811

Area 1 = 1 – Look Up Area 1 = 1 – Norm Dist (Z1) = 1 – ( ) = 0.1677004189

3. Skip this step if there is no LSL

2. Determine Area 2:
LSL – x ( )–( )
Find Z2 Z2 = = = N/A
s ( )

Look up Z2 in Normal Table Norm Dist (Z2) = Normal Table Look Up for Z2 = N/A

Area 2 = Look Up Area 2 = N/A

4. Determine Total Area: Total Area = Area 1 + Area 2 = ( ) + ( )= 0.1677004189

5. Yield = 1 – Total Area Yield = 1 – Total Area = 1 – ( ) = 0.8322995811

= x 100% = 83.2300%
