I was chatting with a power supply manufacturer who told me he had
worked hard to design his power supply and get it through all the
necessary regulations. When complete, he sent the design and
instructions out to the manufacturing company.
After many of them had been made and sold, he realised the components
in the power supply were all cheaper imitations of the components he
had instructed the manufacturer to use.
This is VERY widespread. It's astonishing how many companies don't have
an effective 'Goods Inwards Inspection' function, to use an archaic but
very explicit term.
