Quality PPM • PPM = Parts Per Million • Most measure PPM as the number of defects divided by the number of opportunities for defect: • A cell phone, for example, may have 400 opportunities for defect (400 things that could break). If one thing breaks the cell phone company will say they have 1 defect in 400 chances – 399 good, 1 bad • If your “3” key does not work your phone is 100% defective. • Trendway’s measure? 1 thing bad = 100% bad
