The production quality deviates from the standard. Production should de stopped.

Explanation:

Quality management is the process of detecting and reducing or eliminating errors in manufacturing. The focus of the process is to improve the quality of an organization's outputs.

The company standard of production is that 98,3% of their stitching must be straight. The quality can't be lower than that percentage. Any deviation must be analyzed and fixed.

In this case, 81% of the baseballs reach the minimum standard. The production should be stopped to find the cause of the deviation.
