Heijunka is about leveling production, but I’m not clear on how that ties into defect reduction. I feel like I’ve seen a question like this before.

Muri is about overburden, right? I wonder if reducing that could lead to fewer defects, but I can't recall the details.

Jidoka sounds familiar; I remember it relates to automation and stopping production to fix issues. That might help with defects.

I'll go with Jidoka. That seems like the most directly relevant concept for improving quality and minimizing defects in the manufacturing process.

Wait, is Hansei about continuous improvement through self-reflection? I'm a little confused on how that would apply to reducing defects specifically.

Okay, I remember learning about Jidoka - that's the concept of built-in quality, right? I think that would be the best option to reduce defects.

This looks like a question on lean manufacturing concepts. I'm pretty confident I know the answer, but I'll quickly review the key terms to make sure.
