Defect Rate

Defect rate is a quality measurement that indicates the percentage of products or services that have flaws or do not meet standards during production. It helps identify how often issues occur, guiding improvements. For example, if 1 out of every 100 items is defective, the defect rate is 1%. A lower defect rate means higher quality and fewer problems, while a higher rate suggests more errors and potential costs. Monitoring defect rate helps companies ensure better products, reduce waste, and satisfy customers.
