Non-conformance

Updated in 5.20.70

A non-conformance report says what did not conform, how bad it is, its root cause, and the corrective and preventive actions that close it — each with its owner and its due day. It is approved, then each action is done by its owner, then it is closed.

Where

Manufacturing › Non-conformance

Who

«Read non-conformance reports» reads them, and an action's owner marks it done. «Raise non-conformance reports and their actions» raises, writes, sends, closes and cancels them. «Approve non-conformance reports» approves or refuses.

The reports

Each report shows its Number, what did not conform, the Item and lot, its Severity, how many of its Actions are done (and late) and its Status. The list opens on The open ones.
