An Ice-cream maker makes 1000 psc. ice-cream/ hrs. As per rules, the maker should mix 10 ltr milk per 1000 psc of ice cream. But the ice-cream maker put only 5 ltr milk per 1000 psc ice-cream. The deficit of the milk quantity is a 'defect'.
A defect is any item or service that exhibits a departure from specifications. A defect does not mean that the product or services cannot be used. A defect indicates only that the product result is not entirely as intended.
