Nonconformance Management (2QN)

Nonconformance Management (2QN)

This scope item describes the management of defects and nonconformances. The quality technician creates a defect record and if required, adds a picture that documents the defect. The quality engineer further processes the defect record by documenting or defining immediate, corrective, and preventive actions. The quality technician executes the defined actions and confirms processing by setting a respective status. After defect resolution, the quality engineer closes the defect record.

Furthermore, the quality engineer monitors and analyzes defect records from various sources (for example, defects detected during quality inspection or manually created defects) and deduces common preventive actions.

If required, the quality technician creates additional, manual inspection lots for the available inspection origins to perform additional quality inspections. After inspection results are captured, the quality engineer makes a usage decision to close the manual inspection process.
