Abstract: In the aerospace industry, production and procurement usually consists of infrequent lots of complex parts with relatively small lot sizes. Data are often insufficient to implement standard process assessment techniques. In these situations, a percent tolerance histogram (PTH) is useful because it combines data for all quality characteristics into one histogram. The PTH is a multi-purpose tool that the Boeing Company has found useful for assessing suppliers.
