What it calculates
The “Z-bench” calculator computes Z.bench from 4 parameters: upper spec limit (usl), lower spec limit (lsl), process mean, overall standard deviation (s).
A handy everyday calculator for daily tasks.
Example calculation
With parameters Upper spec limit (USL) = 10.6, Lower spec limit (LSL) = 9.4, Process mean = 10.1, Overall standard deviation (s) = 0.15 the result is 3.33 (Sigma level = Z.bench + 1.5 (shift convention)).
