You can calculate the quality by dividing the number of working units you produce by the total units started. For example, if your asset uses 12 hours to give 12,000 units, with about 300 defects that render them unusable, then your number of functional units will fall to 11,700. That represents a quality score of 97.5% or 0.975.
