When things like this are happening it becomes more necessary to try and prevent them in the future. Either they need to check their machines better to produce fewer errors, or test more things to find them. Kinda the bottom line.
Which, unfortunately, they don’t care about. It’s the trapping of a fast-moving assembly line. In their eyes, the long-term cost of customers losing faith in their ability to produce a consistent level of quality doesn’t outweigh the short-term cost of time spent. As long as they’re making overhead, they’re not heading down to the plant and changing their process.
Until they lose money, anyway, and can trace it to this as a cause with metrics to back it up.
Because whoever is performing spot checks (or looking at an x-ray or however they do their QC before final packaging) is probably some overworked 30-something just counting the seconds until punch-out.
