Minimal Disruption | An Effective Process
Whether a launch requires line-side or warehouse support, Stratosphere Quality will:
- Separate and track defective units and keep the sequencer manager aware of defect percentage.

- Inform the Team Leaders immediately of a high fallout rate.
- Sort product during lunchtime as well as between shifts to ensure no line downtime.
