  1. What is a defect?
    • The definition of the defect depends on the context and this nuance can flip the conversation about the potential solutions. The context is usually limited to only a few elements to keep investigation swift and decisive. This approach is suitable to a day-to-day problem solving routine but a more thorough investigation is necessary when all has failed.
    • Simplest definition of defect in a product is the non compliance with its specifications. An extended definition is that it does not comply with the customer’s expectation.
  2. Can we generate the defect consistently?
  3. What are the parameters controlling the defect?
