𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗗𝗛𝗨 (𝗗𝗲𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘀 𝗽𝗲𝗿 𝗛𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗨𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘀)? 𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗜𝘁 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿
In garment manufacturing, quality is not just about final inspection—it’s about controlling defects throughout the production process. One of the most important indicators used on the production floor is 𝗗𝗛𝗨 (Defects per Hundred Units).
𝗗𝗛𝗨 simply tells us how many defects are found in every 100 pieces produced. It helps us understand the overall quality performance of a sewing line or factory.
For example, if 100 garments are checked and 12 defects are found, the DHU will be 12. This means the defect level is relatively high and needs immediate attention.
A high DHU indicates problems such as poor operator skill, improper handling, machine issues, or lack of standardization in operations. On the other hand, a low DHU reflects better process control, skilled operators, and effective quality management.
In real factory conditions, DHU is not just a number—it is a signal. For instance, if defects like open seams, skipped stitches, or puckering are repeatedly found in one operation, it clearly points towards a specific issue in that area. Identifying and fixing these root causes can significantly reduce rework and improve efficiency.
Industrial Engineers and Quality teams continuously monitor DHU to track performance, identify problem areas, and take corrective actions. Even small improvements in DHU can lead to major cost savings and better customer satisfaction.
