What causes high defect density?

What causes high defect density in manufacturing?

High defect density can be caused by several factors, including poor material quality, inadequate training of workers, and flawed processes.

Can you explain how material quality affects defect density?

Certainly! Low-quality materials may have inconsistencies that lead to defects, such as weak spots or impurities.

What role does worker training play in reducing defects?

Well-trained workers are more likely to follow procedures correctly and identify potential issues before they result in defects.

Are there specific processes that are more prone to high defect density?

Yes, processes that involve complex assembly or require precision, like electronics manufacturing, often see higher defect densities.

How can companies reduce high defect density?

Companies can reduce defect density by improving quality control, investing in better materials, and enhancing worker training.
