Quality Defect Triage & Disposition Logic
Automate defect triage and disposition decisions in post-production
What You Can Do
This skill applies structured decision logic to classify, prioritize, and route manufacturing or post-production defects with consistency and evidence-based reasoning. You provide defect details, and Claude triages them into severity categories, recommends dispositions (scrap, rework, accept-as-is, hold), and documents the decision logic so your quality team can audit, adjust rules, and track trends over time.
Features
Categorizes defects by type, severity, and production phase. Applies consistent criteria across high-volume inspection data.
Routes defects to appropriate decisions (scrap, rework, accept, hold for review) based on predefined rules and cost-benefit thresholds.
Calculates risk scores incorporating defect size, location, functional impact, and compliance risk. Prioritizes high-impact issues for immediate action.
Identifies recurring defect patterns across batches and shifts. Flags systemic issues for preventive action at the source.
Automatically routes defects to engineering review, rework stations, or compliance holds based on disposition and priority.
Generates audit-ready records of triage logic and reasoning. Supports compliance, traceability, and continuous improvement.
Handles multiple defects in a single run. Processes inspection data dumps, generates triage summaries, and prioritizes reviews.
Example Output
Input: Defect batch from shift 2 production run (5 items)
Output:
Defect ID-2401: Dimensional variance on B-side (±0.8mm)
Severity: Medium (6/10) — within tolerance limits but at edge
Disposition: ACCEPT-AS-IS
Reasoning: Functional testing confirmed performance within spec; cost of rework exceeds value loss
Route: Log to trend analysis; queue for dimensional calibration review
Defect ID-2402: Surface scratch, cosmetic, 12mm length
Severity: Low (2/10) — cosmetic only, no functional impact
Disposition: ACCEPT-AS-IS
Reasoning: Customer tier accepts cosmetic defects; post-production buffing resolves
Route: Cosmetic rework station
Defect ID-2403: Crack in corner weld, 8mm propagation
Severity: Critical (9/10) — structural failure risk under load
Disposition: SCRAP
Reasoning: Rework cost ($45) < liability + scrap value ($12); weld repair not certified for this material
Route: Quarantine; notify quality manager for root cause investigation (overnight shift welding parameters)
