Play your own quality control analyst game! Here’s what to do:
- Get something that comes in a package with a large quantity of the same thing (ex: M&Ms, raisins, cereal).
- Empty the bag out on a clean table.
- Go through all the items in the bag and look for any that are ‘poor’ quality (ex: misshapen, much smaller, much bigger, broken, discolored, etc.).
- Put any ‘poor quality’ items in a pile together.
- Once you are done sorting, count how many good quality vs. poor quality items there were in the package.
- What percentage of the items were poor quality? Were you surprised?
