Crisis on the Line: Will You Play It Safe or Push Forward?

You’re the operations lead at a top manufacturing firm. Just days before a major client deadline, your team flags a 2% failure rate in a key product component — slightly above the 1.5% comfort zone but still within legal limits.

Stopping production could blow the deal. Proceeding might risk faulty products slipping through.

What’s your next move?

A. Hit the brakes. Pause production and launch a full-scale root cause investigation.
B. Keep moving. Flag the issue in documentation and deliver on time.
C. Boost final-stage testing, ship as planned, and prep for damage control if needed.
D. Tell the client. Let them decide whether to delay or take the risk.
