How Do Factories Use Pre-Production Meetings to Prevent Defects?

Preproduction meetings prevent defects by aligning specifications, methods, risks, and release criteria.

Identify the process causing the defect rather than relying on final sorting alone. Material, cutting, machine settings, handling, and operator methods can interact; record the affected style, size, lot, and operation so corrective action can be verified before the same issue continues through production. Resolve conflicting instructions before cutting.
