Selejtszázalék

Selejtszázalék, a Hungarian term, translates to "rejection percentage" or "defect rate" in English. It is a metric used primarily in manufacturing and production processes to quantify the proportion of products or items that do not meet specified quality standards and are therefore rejected. This percentage is calculated by dividing the number of rejected items by the total number of items produced or inspected, and then multiplying by 100 to express it as a percentage.

A high selejtszázalék can indicate various issues within a production line, such as problems with raw materials, faulty machinery, inadequate training of personnel, or flaws in the manufacturing process itself. Conversely, a low selejtszázalék signifies efficient production and high-quality output. Monitoring and reducing the selejtszázalék is a key objective for businesses aiming to improve efficiency, reduce waste, and enhance customer satisfaction. Various quality control techniques and statistical process control methods are employed to identify the root causes of defects and implement corrective actions to lower this rejection rate.
