Manufacturing Defect Detection — Confusion Matrix & Metrics Calculator
Compute accuracy, precision, recall, F1, specificity, MCC and more for manufacturing defect detection from TP/FP/FN/TN counts.
Quality-control vision targets very high recall — a shipped defect (false negative) triggers recalls and warranty costs — while keeping false positives low enough that scrap rates stay economical. This calculator frames the escape-rate vs scrap-rate trade-off QC engineers manage.

About Manufacturing Defect Detection — Confusion Matrix & Metrics Calculator
Quality-control vision targets very high recall — a shipped defect (false negative) triggers recalls and warranty costs — while keeping false positives low enough that scrap rates stay economical. This calculator frames the escape-rate vs scrap-rate trade-off QC engineers manage. Enter the four confusion-matrix counts and this calculator returns every standard metric — accuracy, precision, recall (sensitivity), F1, specificity and the Matthews correlation coefficient — recomputed live. MCC is highlighted because it is the most honest single number for imbalanced problems: it only scores high when the model does well across all four quadrants, unlike accuracy or F1 which can be gamed.

Frequently asked questions
What's the 'escape rate' in defect detection?+
The escape rate is the false-negative rate: defects that pass inspection and reach customers. It's the metric quality teams obsess over because escapes drive recalls, returns and brand damage. Recall = 1 − escape rate, so maximizing recall directly minimizes escapes.
Why not just maximize recall to 100%?+
Because catching every defect usually means flagging many good units too (false positives → unnecessary scrap or rework), raising cost. The optimum balances the cost of an escape against the cost of scrapping good product — an explicit cost-ratio decision this tool's counts illustrate.
Why is MCC considered the most reliable single metric?+
MCC uses all four confusion-matrix cells and behaves like a correlation coefficient (−1 to +1): it is high only when predictions track reality across both classes. On imbalanced data where accuracy and even F1 can mislead, MCC stays informative — which is why it's increasingly the recommended summary statistic.
What's the difference between recall and specificity?+
Recall (sensitivity) is the fraction of actual defective cases the model catches — TP/(TP+FN). Specificity is the fraction of actual good cases it correctly clears — TN/(TN+FP). A model can have high recall and low specificity (flags everything) or vice versa; you need both to judge it.
