Cost of Poor Quality
Definition
Quality inspection and punch list resolution in office furniture manufacturing requires compliance with ISO 9001, BIFMA and AFRDI standards, involving testing for strength, durability, safety and ergonomics. Failures result in rework, returns and complaints, driving direct financial losses.
Key Findings
- Financial Impact: AUD 20,000-100,000/year in rework and returns (industry typical 2-5% of production costs for poor quality)
- Frequency: Per production batch or project
- Root Cause: Manual inspections and delays in punch list resolution leading to defects passing to assembly or shipment
Why This Matters
The Pitch: Office furniture manufacturers in Australia 🇦🇺 waste AUD 50,000+ annually on rework and returns from quality failures. Automation of punch list resolution eliminates this risk.
