A large company ordered a million custom integrated circuits from a Japanese supplier, specifying a failure rate of 0.0001%.

The shipment arrived and comprised a hundred large boxes plus one very small box. Each of the large boxes contained ten thousand ICs.

And what was packed very carefully in the small box? Why the ten faulty ICs, of course.

This story is presumably apocryphal, but it does illustrate that some companies care about quality control.

I get the impression that Nokia is one of those companies, whereas of the two LG phones bought by members of my family both were faulty on arrival and needed to be replaced.
