I had to decide on using off-spec stock for a job

We were rushing a batch for a customer, and the metal stock was not quite right. My supervisor told me to run it anyway to meet the deadline. I thought about how it might cause problems down the line. So I flagged it to the quality team, and they stopped the run. It hurt our schedule, but it felt like the honest thing to do.

He told you to run it anyway?

Quality over schedule, every time!

Yeah, my friend's shop ran off-spec, @anna717, and it backfired.
