A manufacturing firm wants to apply 6-sigma standards to its automated tolerance-check process. Suppose that each scanner makes the correct decision only 39% of the time, however only 1 correct decision by any scanner makes the entire process a success. The firm uses 12 scanners, does this ensure 6-sigma quality?
6-Sigma Standards
A set of techniques and tools for process improvement that aims to reduce defects and variability in manufacturing and business processes.
Tolerance-Check Process
A procedure for verifying that production output or operations are within acceptable deviations or tolerances from a specified standard or target.
Automated Tolerance-Check
An Automated Tolerance-Check is a digital process for verifying if an object, component, or system falls within specified limits or tolerances.
- Acknowledge the role of redundancy in elevating reliability at the system or component level.
- Utilize the fundamentals of reliability engineering to solve practical problems in product and system design.

Final Answer :
3.4/1000000 < .3912 = 12.38 DPMO No it does not ensure 6-sigma quality as the defects of 12.39 DPMO are higher than 3.4 DPMO
