💡 *We noticed defects kept showing up too often, and instead of just fixing them one by one, we (as a Quality team) set up a weekly meeting with the production team to really dig into the root causes*
Problems Identified 🚨
🔍 Root causes unclear—needed better traceability per production line
📉 Frequent defects created potential delays and dissatisfaction at the customer level
⏱️ Downtime increased because of rework and re-checks
Actions Taken 🛠️
🧪 Used root cause tools (5 Why, Fishbone) to trace problems back to their source
🔄 Rolled out improvement ideas like equipment calibration, workflow clarity, and hands-on operator coaching
Results✨
📊 Clearer defect trend tracking → easier to show progress to management
🧘♂️ Workload became lighter and more manageable for operators
🤝 Stronger collaboration between QC, production, and engineering teams
