  Key Concepts: 
  Defect per unit (DPU) is a metric used in SAP’s Digital Manufacturing Insights (MFG-DM-MI) component to measure the number of defects in a given unit of production. It is calculated by dividing the total number of defects by the total number of units produced. This metric helps manufacturers identify areas of improvement and track the quality of their products over time.
  
  How to use it: 
  To calculate DPU, first determine the total number of defects in a given unit of production. This can be done by counting the number of defects in each unit or by using a defect tracking system. Once you have the total number of defects, divide it by the total number of units produced. The result is your DPU. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When calculating DPU, it is important to ensure that all defects are accounted for. This includes both visible and invisible defects, as well as those that may not be immediately apparent. Additionally, it is important to track DPU over time to identify trends and areas for improvement. 
  
  Related Information: 
  SAP’s Digital Manufacturing Insights (MFG-DM-MI) component also includes other metrics such as yield rate, throughput rate, and cycle time. These metrics can be used in conjunction with DPU to gain a more comprehensive understanding of production quality and performance.
