Wow. How would floor managers benefit from that kind of swap?
- umeshunni 4y agoThey sell the higher spec ones on the side to their buddies?
- stacktrust 4y agoWouldn't the lower spec ones fail QA checks on factory floor?
- AnimalMuppet 4y agoNot if the floor manager controls the factory floor QA checks...
- stacktrust 4y agoIf factory owners really want integrity from software-executed QA checks, they can require HQ authorization of software and config updates on factory floor equipment that is equipped for local tamper detection of control planes.
- fn-mote 4y agoAnd as the other posters tell you, possibly failing QA checks is not stopping profiteers from attempting these kind of changes. Constantly. It's a numbers game. Expected profit based on how long until your swap is discovered.
- bobthepanda 4y agoBy pocketing the difference.
- stacktrust 4y agoAh, pocketing the delta on input costs. Hopefully the drop in output QA metrics would be detectable via software.
- bobthepanda 4y agoYou also need to make sure QA is actually on your side, and vigilant. As they say, heaven is high and the emperor is far away.
- karmicthreat 4y agoBecause the factory manager is the one selling product out the back door.
- natpalmer1776 4y agoSame way it happens outside china in other industries. You know a supplier who sells material / service for $BUDGET minus X, in exchange for swapping the PO you get a portion of X from the supplier via back channel means, while company is now paying $BUDGET for lower quality material / service that costs supplier less.
