Re: Advice on how to build up defect rate
Its pretty easy to get back to green, if you have decent sales already and enough stock to "bite the bullet". Based on what you take per day, you shouldn't have a problem focusing on transactions, rather than sales- Just pick an item that you have most of or an item that you hardly get problems with and drop the price and bite the bullet.
I usually pick a product that I never have problems with, only because its safer to sell. Otherwise you might end up selling well and not earning any profit, but then 1 or 2 cases go against you, meaning you will end up in the same situation. Just pick a safe item.
Long term, you should really see where you've accumulated such defect % and try to weed out problematic products or procedures.
Might be worth dropping certain lines, if they are causing you problems and replace them with something that has brighter future.
