Quality control
Nonconformities with cause, action and evidence
Nonconformities live in a spreadsheet, corrective actions in email and evidence in a shared folder. When the audit comes, someone rebuilds the story by hand.
- Internal and supplier nonconformities, with root cause, owner and deadline
- Corrective and preventive actions that stem from the nonconformity and cannot be closed until their effectiveness is verified
- Internal audits with a checklist, findings with photos and an action plan with dates
- Incoming inspection by QR code: the batch is checked with a checklist and anything that fails opens a nonconformity
- Customer complaints by email, portal or form, with their analysis and their response
- Metrics by supplier, line and cause, with traffic-light targets
