It can lead to increased costs as maintaining high quality standards often requires significant investment in equipment, training, and personnel. It can also slow down production times, as thorough quality checks can be time-consuming. Additionally, an excessive focus on quality control can lead to a neglect of other important aspects of the business, such as innovation, customer service, and marketing. Finally, it can create a risk-averse culture that discourages experimentation and creativity.
