Question seems to be disconnected so I would reframe the Question and then try to answer: What would you do to maintain strict quality control while you are facing challenges in supply itself? My take: 1. Mitigation by detection for the available material. 2. Vendor to rework Not-Ok Parts. 3. Deploy the team to Go at Gemba and find the root cause. Help supplier to eliminate the root cause and improve productivity. 4. Monitor the effectiveness of the solution. 5. Repeat the cycle if needed. 6. Celebrate the success together with the supplier.

To maintain quality control during material supply shortages: - Diversify suppliers - Inspect incoming materials - Evaluate alternative materials - Prioritize quality over cost - Enhance internal quality control - Conduct regular audits - Invest in employee training Leverage technology: quality management software, automated inspection systems, and data analytics.

The fact that you're facing material supply shortages, it doesn't necessarily mean you have or will have a quality issue, the problem needs to be addressed either from the Logistics, Purchasing, Procurement or Supplier Quality Management side of things, sometimes all of them need to be involve to resolve the problem, it depends on the the situation as of why the supplier/s are straggling to meet the call offs..
