• 
  Key Concepts: 
  Skip rate is a Quality Management (QM) term used to describe the number of items that are not inspected during a quality inspection process. It is calculated by dividing the number of items that were not inspected by the total number of items that were supposed to be inspected. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The skip rate is used to measure the effectiveness of a quality inspection process. It can be used to identify areas where the process needs improvement, such as if too many items are being skipped or if the inspection process is not thorough enough. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to keep track of the skip rate in order to ensure that all items are being inspected properly. If the skip rate is too high, it may indicate that the inspection process needs to be improved or that more resources need to be allocated to ensure that all items are inspected. 
  
  Related Information: 
  The skip rate can also be used in conjunction with other quality metrics, such as defect rate and yield rate, to get a better understanding of the overall quality of a product or process. Additionally, it can be used to compare different processes or products in order to identify areas for improvement.
