Production Pressure vs Defect Resolution
Classify every defect by safety and accessibility consequence and resolve high-consequence items before production dependency locks them in.

Regulations
Business Context
Once production begins, shutting down equipment to correct remaining defects becomes increasingly difficult. Production pressure can cause teams to tolerate temporary repairs, recurring faults, or incomplete work that later becomes embedded in normal operations.
Green Field Industrial Projects TRIZ Resolution
Classify defects according to consequence and future correction difficulty. Resolve defects that threaten safety, reliability, performance, or accessibility before production dependence increases, while scheduling low-consequence corrections into controlled maintenance windows.
Applicable TRIZ Principles
Principle 3 – Local Quality prioritizes defects according to operational consequence.
Principle 10 – Prior Action corrects difficult-to-access defects before sustained production.
Principle 16 – Partial or Excessive Actions permits continued operation when remaining defects are bounded and manageable.
Expected Outcome
Earlier production
Lower inherited defect burden
Improved asset reliability
Better defect prioritization
Decision Indicators
Early indicators include:
Temporary repairs become permanent.
Defect backlogs grow after production begins.
Recurring failures are tolerated to protect output.
Maintenance inherits unresolved construction defects.
Production windows for corrective work become increasingly unavailable.
