What are the three 3 elements of the profitability analysis?

To calculate the key profitability margins and ratios, you'll first need three things from your income statement:

Gross profit: Net sales - cost of goods sold (COGS)

Operating profit: Gross profit - operating ‌expenses.

Net profit: Operating profit + other income - other expenses.


For example we are billing 25$ per hour to Software Developers and we are paying 20$ per hour to him.

Revenue = 25$

Cost = 20$

Gross Profit = 25$ - 20$ = 5$

Company spending operating expenses to Software Developers are Insurance, Office supplies, Training and ect.. costs 2$.

Operating Profit: 5$ - 2$ = 3$

Other income from the Software developer is 1$ and there is no expenses for him.

Net profit: 3$ + 1$ - 0$

Net Profit = 4$


Gross Profit Margin = (Revenue - Cost)/ Revenue *100


Operating Profit Margin= (Operating Income/Revenue) *  ×100

Operating Income = Operating profit or operating income takes gross profit and subtracts all overhead, administrative, and other operating expenses. Operating expenses include rent, utilities, payroll, employee benefits, and insurance premiums. Operating profit includes all operating costs except interest on debt and the company's taxes.


Net Profit Margin = (Net Income/Revenue) *100

Net Income = Revenue - Operating expenses - Other expenses -  Interest - Taxes

Voice of the Customer (VoC) vs Voice of the Business (VoB)

  Tthe differences and strategic importance of Voice of Business (VoB) and Voice of Customer (VoC) in Lean Six Sigma: Voice of Business vs Voice of Customer: Aligning Strategy with Value In the world of Lean Six Sigma , success hinges on understanding and balancing two critical perspectives: the Voice of the Customer (VoC) and the Voice of the Business (VoB) . While both are essential for driving sustainable growth and operational excellence, they represent distinct priorities that must be harmonized for optimal results. 🔊 Voice of the Customer (VoC) Definition : VoC refers to the needs, expectations, preferences, and feedback of the customer—whether internal or external. Focus Areas : Product/service quality Delivery timelines Customer experience Responsiveness and support Methods of Capturing VoC : Surveys and interviews Focus groups Customer complaints and feedback Net Promoter Score (NPS) Goal : To ensure that processes and outputs are aligned with what the customer truly ...

Control Chart in Lean Six Sigma

Control Chart in Lean Six Sigma Introduction In Lean Six Sigma , a control chart is a fundamental statistical tool used to monitor process performance over time and ensure that improvements are sustained . It belongs primarily to the Control phase of DMAIC , where the focus is on maintaining process stability and preventing regression after improvements have been implemented. A control chart helps distinguish between normal process variation and abnormal variation that requires investigation and corrective action. What Is a Control Chart? A control chart is a time-ordered graphical display of process data with statistically determined limits. It answers a critical question: Is the process stable and predictable, or is something unusual happening? A typical control chart consists of: Center Line (CL) – the process average or mean Upper Control Limit (UCL) – upper boundary of expected variation Lower Control Limit (LCL) – lower boundary of expected variation Plotted data points o...

Yield, DPMO & Process Sigma in Lean Six Sigma

  1️⃣ Yield What is Yield ? Yield measures the percentage of outputs that are defect-free . Yield answers: How much did we get right the first time? Formula Yield   (%) = Good Units Total Units × 100 \textbf{Yield (\%)} = \frac{\text{Good Units}}{\text{Total Units}} \times 100 Yield (%) = Total Units Good Units ​ × 100 Example Units processed = 1,000 Defective units = 50 Good units = 950 Yield = 950 1000 × 100 = 95 % \text{Yield} = \frac{950}{1000} \times 100 = 95\% Yield = 1000 950 ​ × 100 = 95% ✅ 95% Yield ❌ Still means 50 customers unhappy 2️⃣ DPMO (Defects Per Million Opportunities) What is DPMO ? DPMO measures how many defects would occur per one million opportunities . DPMO answers: How bad is the process when scaled up? Formula DPMO = Number of Defects Units × Opportunities per Unit × 1,000,000 \textbf{DPMO} = \frac{\text{Number of Defects}} {\text{Units} \times \text{Opportunities per Unit}...
