How do you know it's the factory that sucks? Quality takes a lot of work. With the exception of those in Japan from the 50's through the 80's (all largely having a built-in cultural commitment to perfection), most factories only produce junk if their customers agree to accept junk.
There's enough blame here to spread around to all parties in the design-procurement-manufacturing chain.

Well, the defects are coming from somewhere.
