Test Lot Fails Production should not proceed. Any significant measurement or workmanship discrepancy identified, should be sorted and corrected. Main labels should be cut on all defective units, to prevent them from being shipped by mistake. The source of the quality issue should be identified and corrected before production can proceed. Depending upon the quantity and severity of defects identified, a 2nd PTL may be required. Vendor/Agent QA should again verify production quality, by again performing their own statistical audit.
