[RFC] Nonconforming Material Report (NCMR)

[LoisRForgeFlow]

Description

Non-Conformance Material Report (NCMR) allows you to report non-conforming material identified during inspection of items or material (Quality Control or Warehouse Inspection) or during the movement of the materials and/or when the material is in stock.

Information required:

• Details of the source: order, lot identifiers, product...
• Description of the material non-conformance and some category to classify them.
• Inspector (who performed the inspection of the material).

Submit and assignment

• The NCMR is submitted for a completeness check, routing decision, and to identify the individual responsible for carrying out the non-conforming material disposition.
• Once it is verified it is assigned to some manager to decide the actions to take.

Disposition of the NCMR

The responsible person/ owner investigates the material non-conformance and can set the NCMR to one of the following proposed dispositions:

• Rework (to Existing Specification): This disposition is for non-conforming material that can be reworked without adverse effect on safety, performance, interchangeability, reliability, or quality. The reworked material is returned to the normal flow of material.
• Rework (to New Specification): This disposition is for non-conforming material that can be reworked without adverse effect on safety, performance, interchangeability, reliability, or quality. Assigns a new part number.
• Reclassify: This disposition involves the reclassification of non-conforming material and the assignment of a new part number.
• Return to Vendor: This disposition is applicable when the material discrepancy is the responsibility of the supplier and other dispositions are not recommended.
• Scrap: The non-conforming material cannot be used for its intended purposes and cannot be repaired.
• Use as is: For items, parts or products for which minor nonconformance is repeated, which can be ignored.
• Repair: This disposition is to bring the nonconforming material to an acceptable condition but which may not totally conform to the applicable drawings or specifications.
• No Fault Found: This disposition is used when the non-conformance is reported erroneously. Material of this disposition is returned to the normal flow.

Related Odoo Modules and Models

• quality_control NCMR is intended to report the material/product non conformities which can be found from Quality Control. At the moment this module is available in v8 and when a QC fails it creates a claim. The NCMR can substitute the claim fitting even better in the QC context.
• RMA: In this repository some discussion and development is occurring. Some of the possible disposition of NCMR could lead to the creation of an RMA (e.g. Return to Vendor).
