Oh, there’s no question that they are ruthless with smaller suppliers. I know that quite well. I didn’t know that larger suppliers run different quality protocols, though.

That sounds…difficult, on its face. On a production line, once a certain quality threshold is reached, you often (not always…i’m sure there are exceptions) maintain lowest cost production by funneling everything through the same process, as opposed to setting up a parallel production line with slightly less quality output.

I wonder how that works…i’m sure it’s possible…see, now you’ve engaged my operations management nerd overdrive…i’m going to be chewing on this all day-
