Lara Guevara explains why waiting until final inspection to catch defects is too late: the problem is already deep in production, wasting materials and money. Instead, ask your supplier for photos or a video walkthrough halfway through the run so you can fix issues before they spread.

Myth I want to kill: final inspection catches quality problem in time. It catches them not in time. A defect caught halfway through the run is a conversation with your supplier. The same defect in the final inspection is an expensive problem and a dead-length patch. And caught at your warehouse, it's sometimes not fixable at all. So ask for photos, for a short video walkthrough at roughly the halfway point. Most suppliers will do it if you ask. Almost none will offer.
