Might be caused by sharting.  Our high school metal shop teacher had a list of shop rules. One of them was never fart and walk away. Perhaps he knew the risk it posed to quality. Quote: An investigation found that excessive humidity at a Cessna manufacturing plant in Chihuahua, Mexico, prevented the bonded materials used to make the wing from curing properly, FAA said. Thirteen of the planes were ordered grounded. Read more: http://www.miamiherald.com/2011/09/22/2 ... z1Yt0A102C

My daughter works for a pharma firm and they tried outsourcing some of their production to Puerto Rico. They had to spend so much time keeping an eye on things that they moved it back to the U.S.
