A set of well‐defined equations is required for quantifying statistical product quality and reliability. Specific equations and their inherent measurement errors as a function of reporting period, lead time and fluctuating shipment levels are discussed. This paper covers three quality and reliability measurements, two being new‐shipment measurements: (1) overall embedded annualized field return rate, (2) short‐term or four‐quarter rolling annualized field return rate, and one being repair quality: Rate of re‐return.
