defectele

Defectele is the plural form of defect in Romanian and is used to refer to faults, flaws or deviations from a required condition, design, or standard. The term is applied across many fields, including manufacturing, engineering, software, and medicine, to describe problems that can reduce performance, safety, or usability.

A defect is typically distinguished from a failure. A defect is a flaw present in a product, component, or design, whereas a failure is the inability to meet specified performance under defined conditions. Defects can be manufacturing-related, design-related, material-related, or cosmetic, and they may be latent or immediately observable.

In manufacturing and quality control, defectele are tracked to assess quality levels and to guide improvements. Common measures include defect rate or defect density, and processes such as inspection, testing, and non-destructive testing are used to detect defects before products reach users. Methods like failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA) and root cause analysis help identify underlying causes and prevent recurrence, often within frameworks such as corrective and preventive actions (CAPA) and ISO 9001 standards.

In software, defects (or bugs) are errors that cause incorrect or unexpected behavior. They progress through discovery, triage, fixing, and verification, with tracking systems used to manage severity, priority, and remediation timelines.

In medicine, congenital or acquired defects describe anatomical or functional anomalies, while in construction and engineering, defects can compromise safety and durability of structures.

Addressing defectele involves detection, analysis, and corrective action to restore conformity to requirements and ensure reliability and safety.
