In practice the decision comes down to three numbers: unit cost, freight per unit and the realistic sell through rate for Zen 4.
Why quality control process matters on the Zen 4
Incoming inspection sampling catches most issues before they reach shops.
Cash flow is the quiet constraint behind quality control process: the cheapest option is rarely the one that frees the most working capital.
Functional testing of a sample from each batch is standard practice.

| Pallet (1429 units) | Tier 2 | 14-21 days |
