Defektnivået

Defektnivået refers to the proportion of defective items within a batch or production run. It is a key metric used in quality control and manufacturing to assess the effectiveness of production processes and identify areas for improvement. A low defektnivå indicates a high-quality output, while a high defektnivå suggests that the production system may be experiencing issues such as material flaws, equipment malfunctions, or operator errors.

The calculation of defektnivå is typically straightforward. It involves dividing the number of defective units found by the total number of units inspected, and then multiplying by 100 to express it as a percentage. For example, if 10 items out of a batch of 1000 are found to be defective, the defektnivå is 1%.

Monitoring defektnivå over time allows organizations to track trends and implement corrective actions. Setting acceptable defektnivå targets is crucial for meeting customer expectations and maintaining competitiveness. Industries often have specific standards or acceptable quality limits (AQLs) for defektnivå, which vary depending on the product and its intended use. Continuous improvement efforts in manufacturing aim to reduce the defektnivå to the lowest possible level, striving for near-zero defects.
