# Planet Assembly - Proof in the Process: How One SPD Cut Tray Errors with Audits

with guests Dr. Timothy Hurtado & Tori Ruiz

## Summary

Every SPD tech knows the feeling: the tray wasn’t right, and now everything’s running behind. But what if one small check could stop the chaos before it begins? On this episode of _Beyond Clean’s Planet Assembly_, we’re joined by Dr. Timothy Hurtado and Tori Ruiz, the dynamic duo behind the first-place HSPA poster presentation that tackled tray defects head-on with the power of a second look. From high-risk trays to surprising data trends, Timothy and Tori share how one small idea—and a few simple audits—sparked a culture shift and grew into a scalable, successful QA program across multiple sites. Their story is proof that quality improvement doesn’t have to be complicated to make a big impact—and if you’re looking for a practical, proven way to reduce errors and rally your team around quality, this is one episode you don’t want to miss.
