Nonconforming Material Control

The Nonconforming Material module is used to record and track product specific discrepancies. You create a Nonconforming Material Report (NCMR or NCR) to document a discrepancy, assign disposition and, if appropriate, record rework instructions, follow-up activities and approval.

NCMR's help you satisfy international quality specification requirements to identify, segregate and control nonconforming materials.

Designed specifically to meet all the requirements for a fully functional nonconformance system as described by quality standards such as ISO 9001, ISO 13485, AS9100, TS 16949 and SQF 2000.

NOTE: QCBD is software designed for manufacturing firms to manage their quality system (quality assurance / quality control). In general, it is not suitable for non-manufacturing such as construction, hospitals, doctor's offices, police and fire departments, military, municipalities, educational institutions and public service organizations.
