Average Outgoing Quality Limit

Average Outgoing Quality Limit (AOQL) is a statistical measure used in quality control to determine the maximum average proportion of defective items that can be expected in a lot that has undergone inspection and acceptance sampling. It provides insights into the effectiveness of a sampling plan by indicating the worst-case scenario for the quality of items that pass inspection. AOQL helps organizations make informed decisions about production quality and resource allocation. By understanding AOQL, companies can better manage their quality assurance processes and reduce the risk of delivering subpar products.
