A method to determine the rate of allowed defects in the manufacturing process.
Acceptable quality level refers to the maximum number of defective units that can be accepted from a random sample while still allowing for the acceptance of a production batch. If the acceptable quality level is not achieved, it will be necessary to conduct a more detailed examination of the units in the manufacturing run to ascertain specific faults are causing the batch to fail. Organizations wanting to achieve the six sigma level of quality control pay special attention to this parameter.
A corporation that produces goods with an extraordinarily high quality standard will establish a more severe acceptable quality standard, so that very few issues will cause a review of the manufacturing process.
