Reject Parts refer to products or units that do not meet quality standards and are rejected during inspection. These parts are deemed unfit for use and cannot be sold or utilised without significant rework or repair.
Reject Parts contribute to the overall inefficiency of the production process and directly impact the Quality score in OEE.
Key Points:
- Reject Parts are typically counted in the Total Parts Produced but not in the Good Parts count.
- They represent a loss of resources, time, and material, leading to increased production costs.
- The goal in manufacturing is to minimise the number of rejected parts to improve overall equipment effectiveness and operational efficiency.
Reducing rejected parts is essential for enhancing quality, lowering scrap rates, and increasing overall productivity.
