This calculator can be used to calculate the defect rate based on the number of defects and the total number of items inspected.
Learn how to use the Defect Rate Calculator and its working principles
The defect rate is calculated by dividing the number of defects by the total number of items inspected and then multiplying by 100 to get a percentage. This gives a clear indication of the quality of the inspected items.
If you inspect 1000 items and find 50 defects, the defect rate would be calculated as follows:
Defect Rate = (50 / 1000) * 100% = 5%
