No matter what the inudustry, the nonconformity rate is confidential business information as is the type, number, frequency and criteria of QC procedures.
Not necessarily. Many industries around here (mostly Gm subsidiaries) have adopted the Kaizen manufacturing model. Several even have the number of failures per shift on a whiteboard on the production floor.
other use six sigma, which by it's own definition, seeks to limit failures or out of spec product to 3.4 units per million. I think if only .00034% of Sebenzas are defective, this thread would have petered out long ago...
