When I face a quality control issue, the first thing I do is stay calm and focus on the root cause using the Five Whys Technique. It’s about asking “why” until I pinpoint the real problem, whether it’s a process error, maintenance gap, or resource issue. I confirm the scope and ensure safety is prioritized before taking any steps. I implement short-term fixes to stabilize things, like recalibrating or isolating affected batches, while planning long-term solutions—updating SOPs, training, or preventive systems. I always set KPIs to monitor progress and avoid recurrence. Discipline and transparent communication are critical. When the team knows the issue and their roles, recovery becomes faster and more effective.
