15、ory on critical-to-quality issues.The grade is a five-point-scale,where 5 is the best and 1 is the worst.A defect is defined as either less than bestin a category or a score of 3 or less.GE measures defects per million survey responses.As with all measures in the project,the results are reported on
16、a quarterly basis.Cost of Poor Quality:There are three components:appraisal,which is mostly inspection,internal costs,largely scrap and rework;and external costs,largely warranties andconcessions.GE tracks the total as a percent of revenues on a quarterly basis.Supplier Quality:GE tracks defects per
17、 million units purchases,where the defective part has either one or more CTQs out of tolerance and therefore must be returned or reworked,or the part is received outside the schedule.Internal Performance:GE measures the defects generated by its processes.The measure is the sum of all defects in rela
18、tion to the sum of all opportunities for defects(CTQs).Design for Manufactuability:GE measures the percent of drawings reviewed for CTQsdesigned to six sigma.Most new products are now designed with CTQs identified.GE hopes to begin designing products and services to six sigma capability.This measure is very important,since the design approach often drives the defect levels.
