After a non-conformance is documented, FactoryLogixwill inform the MRB that a new non-conformance is ready for review. The group will review the information and decide on the disposition of the non-conformance. Depending on the situation, the review team may decide to initiate one or more actions, for example:
Scrap The non-conforming product/material cannot be used for its intended purpose and cannot be repaired.
Use as is The non-conforming product/material may be used in its existing condition (this typically occurs when the non-conformance is minor or cosmetic and deemed acceptable by the MRB).
Return to vendor The non-conforming/defective material or component will be returned to vendor from which it was purchased.
False non-conformance Upon review, it was determined that the non-conformance was erroneously initiated. The product/material may be returned to the normal flow.
Repair/rework If the repair/rework option is chosen, FactoryLogix will allow the user to re-route the non-conforming product/material to a repair/rework operation, a rework process flow, or to a Just-In-Time rework process flow.
In addition to a disposition decision, further actions may be required. The disposition team can initiate several different action plans for a non-conformance. Each of these action plans will be subject to a process of plan creation, plan approval, plan execution, and verification.
