Rapid Defect Containment: How to Prevent Line Shutdowns in Tier 1 Supply Chains
PTI QCS delivers fast, ISO-certified containment to protect production uptime and ensure zero-defect delivery.
Why Rapid Defect Containment Matters
In today’s just-in-time manufacturing landscape, a single defect can halt production. For Tier 1 automotive suppliers, the cost of a line shutdown can exceed $10,000 per minute. Rapid defect containment services help you respond immediately, isolate non-conforming parts, and protect your customer’s operations.
