Only way to avoid this is through proper procedures laid in advance to keep track of quality. ISO 9001 standardization is the best means of ensuring this.
The procedures laid out for quality monitoring, ensure that the defects are detected in the early stages and this reduces the chances of compounding effects of defective components or systems. This reduces the losses due to rejections at final stages and moreover avoids the possibility of defects being observed by the customers causing greater financial losses and loss of reputation.
The documented procedures make it easy for the new employees to grasp the requirements and this reduces the cost of training and makes the system to work consistently independent of few experienced employees.
All these result in increased market share as the company will be able to offer the products and services that are reliable and cost effective.
