A traffic light system was implemented to minimize the defect rates of production. The study shows that the average defect rates were dropped from 4.13 to 1.25 pieces of a line for daily eight hours of production. By implementing this system, the defect rates are minimized and the monthly production is also increased and it clearly depicts that the monthly capacity before implementing the traffic light system was equivalent but the defective production was more whereas, after implementation, the defective production was negligible.
