There are 14 different defects that can occur on a completed time card. The payroll department collects 328 cards and finds a total of 87 defects. DPMO =:
Okay, I think I see it now. The total number of opportunities is the number of time cards (328) multiplied by the number of possible defects (14). So the formula is total defects (87) divided by that total, times 1,000,000. I'm feeling good about this!
Wait, I'm a little confused. Is the total number of opportunities the number of time cards (328) or the number of possible defects (14)? I want to make sure I plug the right values into the formula.
I've got this! The DPMO formula is total defects divided by total opportunities, times 1,000,000. So it's 87 / (328 * 14), times 1,000,000. Easy peasy!
Hmm, this looks tricky. I'm not totally sure which formula to use here. Maybe I should re-read the question carefully and try to break it down piece by piece.
Okay, let's think this through step-by-step. We have the total number of defects (87) and the total number of time cards (328), as well as the number of possible defects (14). I think the key is figuring out the right formula to calculate the DPMO.
I'm going with option D as well. It's the only one that seems to properly incorporate all the given information. DPMO calculations can be a real brain teaser, but we've got this!
