Attribute Measurement Analysis
Six Sigma projects usually involve metrics that are classifications rather than
determinations of physical properties such as length, width, color, etc. The
classifications can be binary (male/female, good/bad, failed/didn’t fail, meets
requirements/fails requirements, etc.), nominal (red-blue-green, shipped by
truck/car/train, etc.), or ordinal (good-better-best, dissatisfied-satisfied-delighted). In
this section, summarize the results of the measurement systems used to evaluate
attributes data.
