The average or ratio of the number of defects per unit observed during an average production or service run divided by the total number of opportunities to make a defect on a product or service normalized to the number 1,000,000.
Calculating DPMO -To Calculate DPMO from DPO simply multiply DPO by 1,000,000. - To Calculate DPMO from DPU - DPU/(opportunities/unit) x 1,000,000. Defects per opportunity is a common metric that can be used to indicate the number of defects in a process or product per opportunity. It is calculated by dividing the total number of defects in the sample lot or batch by the total number of opportunities.
Example A team determines that each shirt can have 10 opportunities for defects we have 500 shirts in our sample lot. This gives us 5,000 opportunities (10 opportunities x # in sample batch) for a defect to occur. The inspector observed 50 defects in the sample lot. Making our DPO .01 (50 divided by 5,000).
