Zero Defects is a quality management philosophy that aims for the complete elimination of defects in products and processes. In supply chain and inventory management, zero defects means striving to ensure that every unit of inventory meets quality standards, reducing returns, rework, and waste. Achieving zero defects requires robust quality control measures, supplier collaboration, and continuous improvement. High-quality inventory reduces disruptions caused by defective items and improves customer satisfaction, contributing to a more reliable and efficient supply chain.
