The half a million/pc mistake

[tonypep]

Working with a major shirt brand stuck with 500,000 pcs with wrong inside neck transfer. Need to remove/replace part of it. Several options here. Thankfully we won't be doing them. Just the R&D protos.
Oopsie Poopsie!

I would just get a coverup transfer made.

We've done some thing like this with a Wellington House die cut transfer to coverup an existing logo in a performance tee.

For 500k pieces I would get in touch with unimark to get a proper transfer made and just press them on top.

You are going to spend to much time removing, and possibly damage the shirt trying to spray out that.

That's unreal.

Insurance claim?

The blank mfgr (you all would recognize) did this by mistake. Garments can't leave Central America until they are compliant. They have been presented with several options.

Stuff like this has always had me wondering about those who make a mistake like this, what would be a justifiable course of punishment to the person responsible?

When you think about it? Stuff happens. Any person can make mistake that can be the cost of 1.00 or for some businesses, 1 million.  How do you think management should handle large costly mistakes like this?

Some might go the route of firing, but it could happen to anyone, including an owner themselves, so what to do? A mistake can show you a weak spot in a procrss.

The obvious thing is to learn by it and put action in the proper place by implimentibg steps so that it's not as easily possible to repeat that same mistake.

Firing squad at dawn?

Dan it wasn't simply a careless mistake it was more of a business situation gone wrong. That's all I can say.
Orion remember its Central America so anythings possible!

we had a situation about a year ago. Honest mistake cost us $12K. I let the guy go. 'told him I'd give him a good reference if he needed one, but could not keep him as it would send the wrong msg to the ppl left behind. Did not like doing it, but had to be done. . .

And just when I was thinking that the $2,000 mistake a couple of our employees made last week was bad. I have already put steps in place to help protect from it happening again. Cost another $2,000 to implement that though!
