Tolerance

A numeric range that defines how much a quality measure may deviate from its target and still meet requirements.

Key Points

  • Expressed as measurable limits (for example, +/- values or a range).
  • Sets the acceptable spread around a specified quality target.
  • Established by stakeholders, standards, or contracts to guide acceptance decisions.
  • Different from control limits, which relate to process performance monitoring.

Example

A component must be 100 mm in length with a tolerance of +/- 2 mm. Any part between 98 mm and 102 mm meets the quality requirement; outside this range it is rejected or reworked.
