English term or phrase: need help with two "Six Sigma" terms
Six Sigma table (one entry as an example): Sigma Level: 3 Sigma, Cp: 1.0, Yield %: 93.32, Defects per million opportunities: etc.
What does "Cp" stand for? And how would you translate "yield" in this context? I know, Six Sigma often refers to "Rendite", but in this context something like "Erfolg" is meant (nämlich der Anteil der Produktion OHNE Fehler). Or am I wrong?
