Rework Rate
Quality
Rework Rate
The percentage of produced units that require additional work to meet requirements.
Examples
- 01On the paint line, the rework rate is 6 %, meaning 6 of every 100 bodies need polishing or touch-up before shipment.
- 02Supervisors review the rework rate by shift and model and see that the dark blue colour causes twice as much rework as all others.
- 03When the rework rate rises from 4 % to 9 % in one week, the team checks the booth and finds the air filters overdue for replacement.
