 While I would ordinarily caution "//Beware the sirens call to mediocrity//", in a strange twist, the [[articles:ocap|OCAP]] (required for all AS91xx companies) actually promotes mediocrity by linking the company's performance to a "risk factor" - used to determine whether the company is a High, Medium, or Low risk! This discourages the use of "//stretch goals//" because the [[articles:ocap|OCAP]] will "punish" these companies with a 'High" risk rating (which is used to adjust the audit time by ±10%). While I would ordinarily caution "//Beware the sirens call to mediocrity//", in a strange twist, the [[articles:ocap|OCAP]] (required for all AS91xx companies) actually promotes mediocrity by linking the company's performance to a "risk factor" - used to determine whether the company is a High, Medium, or Low risk!

 +While your "true" goal will often be 100% compliance... these goals are established for "certification" purposes. If you don't know the difference, read: [[articles:qms_vs_iso9001_cert_mgmnt_system|How a QMS is different from a "Certified Management System"?]]
  
 To put the suggested goals/targets in perspective: 99.80% is approx. 4.38 Sigma Short Term (Z<sub>ST</sub>) – or 2,000 DPMO (Defects Per Million Opportunities). That is the average % products delivered “defect-free” from a “typical” machining “Job Shop” (producing high variation, low volume lots at inconsistent rates). To put the suggested goals/targets in perspective: 99.80% is approx. 4.38 Sigma Short Term (Z<sub>ST</sub>) – or 2,000 DPMO (Defects Per Million Opportunities).
