Apologies if this has been asked before - if so I couldn't find it.
In our pharma operation we use AQL inspection at the primary packaging stage. We have a Major defect limit of 0.1%. We pack into trays of 2200 units. Then, we use another line to pack the units into secondary packaging.
The question we're struggling with is this: What should we do if we find defects during the secondary packaging process? The product has already passed AQL inspection, but is there a defect level that would then lead us to either believe that we have a previously unidentified 'cluster' of defects, or that our AQL process has been in some way inadequate? In other words, what level of defects can we ignore?
I'd really appreciate opinions on this!
