QMS/9000+TM

Features and Functions

4.13 Control of Nonconforming Product

In order to manage nonconformances, a system for recording, tracking and reporting on their disposition status is required. The QMS/9000+ MRB (Material Review Board) system follows incoming and in-process nonconforming materials from initial detection through preliminary review to final disposition. Corrective actions can be automatically initiated by over limit recurrences and/or excessive nonconformance costs.

• User-defined prompts and data fields
• Menu-driven operation
• Nonconformance input transactions initiated by both receiving and in-process conformance testing
• Recurrence alarming/corrective action trigger
• Tracking of nonconforming material from initial detection through to final MRB disposition

• Due list/aging reports for PRB and MRB submissions awaiting disposition for seven, fourteen, thirty, etc., days
• Cost information imports from accounting system
• Standard reports on cost of repair, rework and scrap month to month and by quarter
• Listing of defect recurrence factors
