AOQL stands for Average Outgoing Quality Limit

AOQL, or Average Outgoing Quality Limit, is a statistical measure used in quality control to define the maximum acceptable proportion of defective items in a batch of products after inspection. It serves as a benchmark for determining the effectiveness of a sampling plan, ensuring that the average quality of outgoing goods meets predetermined standards while minimizing the risk of defective items reaching customers.
