• Key Concepts: 
  Class width is a Quality Management (QM) term used in SAP to define the range of values that can be assigned to a characteristic. It is used to determine the number of classes that can be created for a given characteristic. For example, if the class width is set to 10, then 10 classes can be created for the characteristic. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In SAP, class width is set in the Quality Management (QM) module. To set the class width, go to the QM module and select “Class Width” from the menu. Enter the desired value for the class width and click “Save”. The class width will now be set for the selected characteristic. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting the class width, it is important to consider the range of values that will be assigned to the characteristic. If the range is too wide, then too many classes may be created and it may become difficult to manage them. On the other hand, if the range is too narrow, then not enough classes may be created and it may become difficult to accurately measure quality. 
  
  Related Information: 
  Class width is closely related to another Quality Management (QM) term called “class interval”. Class interval defines the difference between two consecutive classes in a given characteristic. For example, if the class interval is set to 10, then each class will have a difference of 10 between them.
