LTPD (Lot Tolerance Percent Defective)

Lot Tolerance Percent Defective

Poor quality level that a sampling plan is designed to reject with high probability.

Examples

  1. 01The sampling plan is designed with an LTPD of 5 %, so lots with 5 % defects will be rejected 90 % of the time.
  2. 02Quality and purchasing review the LTPD of the incoming plan because it allowed too many poor lots through.
  3. 03When a lot near the LTPD is accepted and fails at the line, the team re-evaluates the sample size.
