Results Achieved to Date

  • An analysis of the error rates for the overall process (Spring 2001 through Fall 2002) indicates that we can expect between 7 and 8 errors per thousand (Z=2.42). This is a big improvement over the rates observed before the process improvement team first met. At that time, error rates averaged 32 per thousand (Z=1.85). The team will continue to explore ways to improve the process and to monitor results using Six Sigma methods.
