Conforming vs Nonconforming Materials
Identifying Nonconforming Locations:
- Receiving Inspection
- In Process Defects
- Finish Good Defects
- Returned Material Defects
Labeling and Segregating
- Placing the material in a hold MRB cage with detailed descriptions and a reject tag to alert the team that it is pending disposition
- Removing defective items from the production line and taking them to repair station with reject tag symptom
- The SFC repair system should then automatically log the nonconforming until repair is completed; the same method should apply to MRB log as well
- Materials returned by customers must be separated from MFG products.
- Disposition as Recycle/Scrap/UAI
