Q887ScenarioA Tier-1 automotive supplier produces a safety-relevant brake subassembly at 200,000 units/month. Incoming true defect rate at final inspection is 2% (≈4,000 truly defective units; ≈196,000 good units). The plant currently uses trained human inspectors and is evaluating an AI machine-vision inspection system. Validation data over a 90-day pilot: Metric Human inspection AI vision Defect detection rate 94% 99.3% False reject rate (good units scrapped) 1.5% 5.5% Translating those rates to monthly volume: Escaped defects (defective units passed to the customer): 240/month → 28/month with AI (≈212 fewer escapes). False rejects (good units wrongly scrapped): 2,940/month → 10,780/month with AI (≈7,840 more good units scrapped). Cost picture: The additional scrap is a certain internal-failure cost of roughly $3.8M/year (≈$40/unit). The escaped defects are mostly caught downstream — but because the part is safety-relevant, roughly 1 in 50 escapes carries the potential to trigger a field safety incident or recall costing $1.5M–$3M plus reputational and OEM-relationship damage. That external-failure exposure is rare and hard to price precisely, but severe when it lands. Two Opposing ViewsView A — Deploy the AI; minimize escaped defects. On a safety-relevant part, consumer's risk dominates. Cutting escapes by ~88% (240 → 28/month) meaningfully reduces exposure to catastrophic external failures, recalls, and OEM stop-ship penalties — the kind of tail event that can dwarf any scrap number and even threaten the contract. Scrap is a visible, controllable cost you can attack afterward through process improvement (tighten the incoming 2%, retune the model's decision threshold, add a fast re-inspection loop for borderline rejects). You cannot "improve" your way out of a field safety incident that already reached a vehicle. View B — Hold the AI back; protect yield and producer's risk. A 5.5% false reject rate scraps nearly 4x the good product humans do — a certain $3.8M/year hit with a >3x yield-loss increase, straining capacity, material, and cost targets. The headline benefit rests on a rare, speculative tail event, while the cost is guaranteed every single month. Better to keep human inspection (or run AI in advisory/second-check mode) until the false-reject rate is engineered down to something comparable to human levels. Trading a quantified, recurring loss for a low-probability hypothetical is poor risk management, and the yield damage may itself jeopardize the contract via missed delivery and cost commitments.
