How are Manufacturing Defects Identified and Managed?
Manufacturing defects can be identified through:
- Incoming Quality Control (IQC): Inspection and testing of raw materials and components before they enter the production process. - In-Process Quality Control (IPQC): Monitoring and testing during the manufacturing process to identify defects early. - Final Quality Control (FQC): Thorough inspection and testing of finished products before they are released for distribution.
Defects are managed through root cause analysis, corrective actions, and preventive measures to avoid recurrence.
