This is all fairly normal for large scale manufacturing in my experience.
You want everything to meet spec, but the spec won't cover everything, and especially at the beginning the supplier may or may not even be able to meet spec in volume.

So why does the original article claim that the "problem" is due to differing attitudes of Indian vs Chinese suppliers? EDIT: Wouldn't the "problem" likely also occur if you were to switch from one Chinese supplier to another [completely unrelated] Chinese supplier?
