This document discusses the concept of zero defects, which aims to prevent defects through motivating workers to do their jobs correctly the first time. It outlines that zero defects seeks to make workers responsible for quality control and to motivate them to gain zero defects. The key steps are for workers to find and remove defects during production, accept the challenge of their work, and inspect products with care. However, the document also notes that truly having zero percent defects is unrealistic and excessive inspection from zero defects implementation could potentially cause defects. Future research is needed to evaluate models through real-world testing.

ZERO DEFECTS

2. INTRODUCTION
• Zero defects is a management tool aimed at the
reduction of defects through prevention .
• It is directed at motivating people to prevent
mistakes by developing a constant , conscious
desire to do their job right the first time.
• Zero defect management is a revolutionary idea
which managed to completely redesign the
production philosophies of era.

3. WHAT IS ZERO DEFECT?
• The approach of zero defect is such that
workers willingly join in quality control.
• Therefore they are made to think and believe
that responsibility of controlling the quality is
of workers.
• The approach of this system is to motivate for
gaining of zero defect.

4. STEPS OF THIS SYSTEM ARE UNDER:-
1) Workers finds the defects during production and
work for avoiding or removing the defects.
2) Workers accept the challenge of his work.
3) Workers inspect the product with preservance &
care.
4) Workers are getting better motivation.

5. LIMITATION OF ZERO DEFECT
• ZD is alleged to be anon – achievable goal by
many experts. Realistically having zero percent
odf defect is some what ridiculous, as according
to some experts.
• If ZD is implemented without sufficient
preparation and plants , it can even cause defect
because of the extra stages of increasingly
rigorous and expensive inspection and handling of
the products.

6. FUTURE RESERCH
• The scope of future research is very much here in
this topic as the ZD concept didn’t met with its
destiny.
• This paper suggested a possible model but it was
based only a theoretical frame work.
• The exact viability of the model can be evaluated
with real life implementation experience.
