Hi All, 

Looking for general thoughts on targets for CPMU (Complaints Per Million Units and it is the number of complaints received in a month divided by total sales for the month times one million).

Industry = health nutritional, supplements

Do you know of a food manufacturing best target for this type of ind

 

ustry? Looking at previous threads, I found targets for dairy, ready meals, bakery, sandwiches, but nothing for our type of industry. Our products are quite expensive, and I imagine if someone buys a 5kg pouch of a ‘banana flavour’ whey protein for example and they don’t like the flavour, they will complain.

All thoughts, suggestions etc will be greatly appreciated

 Many thanks

Hi,

CPMU is one we use. We base the target on previous performance (with a 10% reduction). Or just bench marking on your own previous performance.

We now also use DCPMU (defective components ) This then eliminated the ones which are about preference /flavour etc. BUT 1 complaint for a pack of 6 crushed items (for example) now becomes 6 defective units. The number will be bigger.

I think the target all depends on your industry, your process, actual capabilities, the value of the product .

Sharon
