Overview
What is Product Non-Uniformity?
Product non-uniformity is used to describe situations in which a product does not meet quality-control metrics set by your company, your customers, or a regulatory agency.
It can mean a variety of different things for different industries. For example, tablets produced by a pharmaceutical company may not have the required mass or content uniformity. Or, a box of cereal flakes may contain too many fines or crumbs.
