For instance, a 3% rate of defective products or services may be tolerable, but 5% may not be. Still, management should be always on guard for ways to improve procedures and reduce the number of defective products.
The UK Weights and Measures Act of 1878 first defined the imperial pound in terms of metric units (1lb = 453.59265g) , and in 1893 the Mendenhall Order defined the United States pound by describing a kilogram as equivalent to 2.20462 pounds.
One pound is equal to 0.45359 kilograms. Therefore, the weight in pounds must be multiplied by 0.45359 to convert the weight to kilograms. For example, to convert 75 pounds to kilograms, multiply 75 by 0.45359. The result is 34.019 kilograms. Divide weight in ounces by 35.274.
