How to calculate rework rate
Rework rate measures what percentage of produced units require rework before they're acceptable — a manufacturing quality metric.
How the calculation works
Rework rate = (Reworked units ÷ Total units) × 100.
Example
45 reworked units out of 1,000 total: (45÷1,000)×100 = 4.5%.
