Add-on module
Nonconformance and corrective action
Handles nonconformances (NCR) and corrective actions, from discovery to closure.
For quality and production managers.
What changes
The same nonconformance lives in three systems that don't agree.
It starts where you found it and has one path to closure.
How it works
- 1
Raise it where it was found
- 2
Disposition it
- 3
Close the loop
- 4
Escalate when it repeats
What's included
- Raised from anywhere
- Severity and disclosure
- Concessions
- Linked evidence
- Corrective actions
- Into the dossier
Part of Inspection plans
Details
The steps, explained
- Raise it where it was found. From the weld, the examination, the inspection point or the incoming material — with the origin recorded, not retyped.
- Disposition it. Use as is, repair, rework, reject, or concession. With who decided, on what basis, and whether the client had to agree.
- Close the loop. A repair produces new work with its own examination. The nonconformance is not closed because the paperwork was filed.
- Escalate when it repeats. A pattern across jobs becomes a corrective action, with a cause and a verification that it worked.
All the features
- Raised from anywhere. Welding, NDT, inspection, materials, calibration — one register.
- Severity and disclosure. Internal by default. Promotion to client visibility is a deliberate act, not an accident of permissions.
- Concessions. Client-approved deviations recorded as what they are.
- Linked evidence. The repair weld, the re-examination and the release, attached to the original.
- Corrective actions. Cause, action, owner, due date, and the check that it took.
- Into the dossier. Nonconformances and their closure are part of the handover pack, not a separate story.
In depth
Internal by default
A nonconformance register that is visible to the client by default does not get used. People stop raising things, or they raise them somewhere else, and the register becomes a record of what was safe to admit rather than a record of what happened.
So the default is internal, and making something visible to the client is a deliberate act by someone with the authority to make it.
That is not concealment: the dossier still carries what the contract requires it to carry. It is the difference between a system people tell the truth to and a system they manage.
