Types of manufacturing defects.

1. Dimensional inaccuracies: This occurs when a product does not meet the specified dimensions or tolerances, leading to issues with fit and function.

2. Surface defects: These defects can include scratches, dents, cracks, or other imperfections on the surface of the product.

3. Material defects: This can include issues with the material used in the manufacturing process, such as impurities, inconsistencies, or weaknesses that affect the product's performance or durability.

4. Assembly errors: These defects occur when components are not properly assembled or connected, leading to issues with the product's functionality.

5. Design flaws: These defects occur when there are errors or oversights in the product's design that affect its performance or usability.

6. Performance defects: These defects occur when a product does not perform as intended or fails to meet specified performance standards.

7. Cosmetic defects: These defects are purely aesthetic in nature and do not affect the functionality of the product, but can still impact the overall quality and appearance.

8. Packaging defects: These defects occur in the packaging of the product, such as leaks, tears, or other issues that can affect the product's protection during shipping and handling.

1. Design Defects

- Occurs during the design phase of the product
- Results in a product that does not meet its intended purpose or is unsafe
- Examples:
- A toy that is designed with small parts that can be swallowed
- A car that is designed with a faulty braking system

2. Production Defects

- Occurs during the manufacturing process of the product
- Results in a product that does not meet its specifications or is damaged
- Examples:
- A shirt that is sewn with a hole in it
- A car that is painted with a defective finish

3. Material Defects

- Occurs when the materials used to manufacture the product are defective
- Results in a product that is weak or brittle
- Examples:
- A toy made from plastic that contains lead
- A car made from steel that is not tempered properly

4. Assembly Defects

- Occurs when the components of the product are not assembled correctly
- Results in a product that does not function properly or is unstable
- Examples:
- A chair that is assembled with loose screws
- A car that is assembled with misaligned wheels

5. Inspection Defects

- Occurs when the product is not inspected properly before it is shipped
- Results in a product that contains defects that should have been detected
- Examples:
- A toy that is shipped with a missing part
- A car that is shipped with a defective battery

6. Packaging Defects

- Occurs when the product is not packaged properly
- Results in a product that is damaged during shipping or handling
- Examples:
- A toy that is shipped in a box that is too small
- A car that is shipped without any protective padding
