Component Name: Quality Management
Description: The minimum acceptable value of the quality number. An acceptability constant is used in sampling plans for a variable inspection and is the basis of which the sample is accepted. In a variable inspection, it corresponds to the acceptance number in an attributive inspection.
Key Concepts: Acceptability constant is a term used in SAP Quality Management (QM) to define the maximum permissible deviation from the target value of a quality characteristic. It is used to determine whether a quality characteristic is acceptable or not. The acceptability constant is calculated by dividing the maximum permissible deviation from the target value by the target value. How to use it: The acceptability constant is used to determine whether a quality characteristic is acceptable or not. It is calculated by dividing the maximum permissible deviation from the target value by the target value. For example, if the target value of a quality characteristic is 10 and the maximum permissible deviation is 2, then the acceptability constant would be 0.2 (2/10). If the actual value of the quality characteristic is greater than 12 (10 + 2), then it would be considered unacceptable. Tips & Tricks: When calculating the acceptability constant, it is important to remember that it should be calculated using the maximum permissible deviation from the target value and not from the actual value. This will ensure that you are accurately determining whether a quality characteristic is acceptable or not. Related Information: The acceptability constant can also be used to calculate other values such as tolerance limits and acceptance limits. Tolerance limits are used to define how much variation from the target value is allowed before a quality characteristic is considered unacceptable, while acceptance limits are used to define how much variation from the target value is allowed before a quality characteristic is considered acceptable.
