In pursuit of 100 percent defect-free parts

摘要

In this era of recalls and defect-caused product lawsuits, automotive, aerospace, medical device, and appliance OEMs are increasingly demanding that their stamping suppliers provide defect-free parts-and sometimes levy penalties if the parts they receive are defective. Sometimes stampers are instructed to deliver their parts directly to their customer's customers, making "100 percent defect-free" more critical than ever. They are expected to ensure accuracy, consistency, and repeatability.
