  • Publication number: 20200401121
    Abstract: A quality management apparatus includes an acquisition unit and an extraction unit. The acquisition unit acquires, about products to be managed, a rate of occurrence of a malfunction on an occurrence period basis, an operation condition of the products, and a manufacturing condition for the products. The extraction unit classifies the rate of occurrence into layers under the operation condition, and extracts, for each layer under the operation condition, a relationship between the rate of occurrence and the manufacturing condition.
