If one sets an acceptable quality level (perfection rate) of 99 per cent, the results are:
- 200,000 wrong drug prescriptions each year.
- 30,000 new born babies accidentally dropped by doctors/nurses each year.
- Five incorrectly spelt words on every page.
- 10 Defective airplanes per 1,000
Action Plan:
- Do away with the acceptable quality limits, strive for 100% perfection rate.
- Adopt Target Zero Defects approach.
