It is not always desirable to keep the production intact knowing that there has been a gap/ compromise. It ought to be decided based on the type of product, nature of gap/deviation and the potential effect it may have on the end user. Best foot forward in such a situation is to track the affected lot/batch, recheck the reported gaps on the product and rectify. It is a good practice to subject the rectified lot through an extended testing/ validation before it goes to the end customer. Trust this answers...

Compromising quality may seem to save time in the short term, but it often leads to long-term consequences, like product failures and damaged credibility. While missing a deadline can be a short-term setback, maintaining high quality protects the trust and loyalty we've built with our customers. I've found that quality-focused decisions may involve some initial pain, but they lead to more sustainable, long-term success.

One way to handle a team member who has chosen to compromise quality control (especially when it is a deliberate decision on their part, as opposed to a distributed failure in clarity) is twofold. The collar of the shirt and the belt are both solid handling points by which the detractor can be gripped, raised above the head, and deposited into the nearest municipal waste repository.

There are two ways: 1 As a part of contingency check the produced part 100% and confirm that it should fit for assembly. There should not be any affect on the end product. 2. As a part of mitigate Check the shortfalls in quality control Check for the calibrated system and educate the controllers. If produce part ok to fit for assembly; implement/correct the design changes. May be this will save some unwanted process cost.

There are 2 rules before you dealing with the quality issue: -Rule No.1:Always remember the quality is the most important key for longterm work relationship. -Never forget rule No.1

Compromising quality has a negative impact on quality KPIs. To ensure that production is stays on track I will use problem solving tools such as control charts and 5WHY analysis which will deep dive into the root cause of the non conformity. The control chart will help me to detect non conforming product and then find the root cause. I will also advise my team member who comprising quality control to learn more on how to fight variation in the processes and start practicing using the tools. It is very important to understand TPM which will improve quality control and that will keep production on track

I will never tolerate team members who violate or compromise quality control. One of the success criteria is that we deliver goods on time with guaranteed quality. There is no point in us delivering the goods on time but the product quality is compromised.
