This document discusses defects, their identification and analysis using quality management tools. It begins by defining defects and defectives. Defects are then classified as minor, major or critical depending on their impact. Common quality management tools for defect analysis are described, including the Ishikawa diagram, Pareto chart, 5 whys technique, and PDCA cycle. Steps in a typical defect analysis process are outlined along with examples of using Ishikawa diagrams and Pareto charts to analyze and prioritize defects. The goal of defect analysis is to identify root causes and implement solutions to reduce defects.
