Total and Average Number of Quality Issues per Project is a measure used
for quality related projects, e.g. construction projects. Any issue that
affects the characteristics of a product or service provided in the way it
cannot meet upon-agreed requirements can be considered as Quality Issue. It can
be a defect, a deficiency, an incorrect information provided or any other issue
that results in rework, modification or acceptance of the product or service
with the quality issue. On this basis there are three types of Quality Issues:
1) Rejected Issue - when the quality of the product or service is so
poor that all work on it cannot be accepted and therefore must be redone
2) Reworked Issue - when a product needs to be modified to meet the
requirements.
3) Compromised Issue – when the responsible parties accept the product
or service with quality issue, defect, deficiency, etc. as it is
Total and Average Number of Quality Issues KPI shows the total and the
average number of all three types of quality issues listed above per particular
project and on all project stages as well as the percentage of each type of
quality issue against total number of all types of quality issues within a
project. Like any other measures of this kind Quality Issues KPIs should be the
metrics that show whether you satisfy your customers and their requirements.
