Polycon是一家位于安大略省圭尔夫的大型汽车工厂。这家工厂是Magna Inc.的一家工厂，专门生产筋膜等基于聚合物的车身部件，拥有约1400名员工。衡量质量的一个重要标准是所有装运的部件必须没有缺陷。缺陷有各种形式和特征，但通常可分为三类：物理缺陷、外观缺陷和颜色匹配缺陷。外观缺陷是指影响成品整体外观的缺陷，例如橙皮(零件的表面看起来像橘子的皮)。物理缺陷包括零件表面的任何物理损坏，包括油漆应用缺陷，如边缘滴水和油漆流出，零件上的污垢或纤维，处理缺陷，如凸起、划痕、划痕、刮痕，最后是成型缺陷。颜色匹配缺陷是指零件的颜色测量不符合客户规格的缺陷。

Polycon is a major automotive plant located in Guelph, Ontario. The plant is one of Magna Inc. plants and specializes in manufacturing polymer based body parts like fascia and has around 1400 employees. A critical measurement of quality is that all shipped parts must be free from defects. Defects come in various forms and characteristics but can generally be categorized in three categories: physical, appearance, and colour matching defects. Appearance defects are defects that impact the overall look of a finished product such as orange peel (the surface of the part looks like the skin of an orange). Physical defects include any physical damage to the part surface including paint application defects such as edge drips and paint runs, dirt or fiber on the part, handling defects like bumps, nicks, scratches, gouges, and finally moulding defects. Colour matching defects are defects where the part's colour measurement doesn't meet the customer specification.
