The factors that affect the P/Q rating of a company's action cameras include
cumulative spending for product R&D, the amount the company spends on training its
camera-related PATS and improving the quality of its camera-related assembly
methods, the camera housing, and editing/sharing capabilities.
the quality of the videos, the average amount spent on product R&D during the two
most recent years, the percentage of camera workstations where assembly is robot-
assisted, and the degree to which buyer reviews of the company's camera models are
favorable.
the assembly experience of camera PAT members, how long the camera batteries last,
the length of the company's camera warranties, camera zoom capabilities, camera
defects and repair frequencies per thousand cameras sold annually, and the number of
camera models in the company's camera offering.
editing/sharing capabilities, the number of new/improved camera models a company
introduced in the prior year, the company's cumulative spending on workstation
upgrades, and the amount a company spends on implementing best practice assembly
methods, and the number of supervisors employed to supervise its camera-related
PATS (to reduce camera defects and the need for repairs)
the expected life of the camera housing, warranty claim rates and repair costs, the
average age of camera workstations, and the hourly wage paid to camera PAT
members.
