What Is DHU

DHU stands for Defects per Hundred Units and measures the number of defects found per 100 garments inspected. The DHU value is calculated using a formula that divides the total defects found by the total garments inspected, and multiplies by 100. In an example, a checker inspected 250 garments and found 35 defects in 20 defective garments, resulting in a DHU value of 14. To measure DHU, the total pieces inspected and total defects found must be recorded, as one defective garment may contain multiple defects.

What is DHU?

DHU stands for Defect per Hundred Units. It means number of defects found or detected
per 100 garments. This is also known as DPHU (Defects Per Hundred Units).

DHU value is calculated using following formula.

Defects per hundred units = (Total defects found * 100)/Total garments inspected

Illustration: Assume that a finishing checker checked 250 garments in a day. Checker found
20 defective garments and he recorded 35 defects in those defective pieces. What is the DHU
of finishing process?

Solution: By using above formula DHU of the finishing goods is

= 35 * 100/250
= 14

How to measure DHU?

To measure DHU of any process, one needs to record number of total pieces checked and
number of total defects are detected in the inspected garments. It is number of defects not the
defective garments. One defective garment may have more than one defects. Like a checker
found broken stitch, a hole and raw edges in shirt. Here checker found one defective shirt but
the defective shirt contains 3 defects.

Once you have record of the following information of a lot you can measure DHU of that lot
using above formula.

1. Total pieces inspected

2. Total defects found in those inspected pieces

Following table can be used for data capturing during of the garment inspection.
