Sample Product Development/Engineering Performance Measures

Percent of drafting errors per print Percent of prints released on schedule
Percent of errors in cost estimates Number of times a print is changed
Number of off-specifications approved Simulation accuracy
Accuracy of advance materials list How well the product meets customer expectations
Field performance of product Percent of error-free designs
Percent of errors found during design review Percent of repeat problems corrected
Time to correct a problem Time required to make an engineering change
Percent of reports with errors in them Data recording errors per month
Percent of evaluations that meet engineering objectives Percent of special quotations that are successful
Percent of test plans that are changed   (change/test plan) Number of meetings held per quarter where quality and defect prevention were the main subject
Person-months per released print Percent of total problems found by diagnostics as released
Number of problems that were also encountered in previous products Cycle time to correct customer problem
Number of errors in publications reported from the plan and field Number of products that pass independent evaluation error-free
Number of misused shipments of prototypes Number of unsuccessful pre-analyses
Number of off-specifications accepted Percent of requests for engineering
Number of days late to pre-analysis Percent of requests for engineering action open for more than two weeks
Effectiveness of regression tests Number of restarts of evaluations and tests
Percent of corrective action schedules missed Number of days for the release cycle
Cost of input errors to the computer Percent of bills of material that are released in error
Spare parts cost after warranty Customer cost per life of output delivered
