What information should a Nonconformance Register contain?

Welcome to the Cove! :bigwave:

If you could give a little more information about your nonconformance register and why/how it is used, it might help other Covers to answer your question. Is this something that your company uses to initiate corrective actions? Was it something suggested by a consultant?

We look forward to learning more so we can help. And by all means, if you'd like to share your experience and expertise, please jump right in! :D

What information should a Nonconformance Register contain?

All of it. :tg:

Seriously though, it depends on what the register is used for, and the information that users of it might want to see. You would probably want to include dates, part numbers, identification of nonconformance reports, if there are any, the nature of the NC... In short, decide what information is useful or fulfills a requirement, and go from there.

Hello, Do you suggesting to use this kind of form for NC of product or materials as well as for non-compliance system?:confused:

I have used a register in the past. I had it set up with the "hot links" to the actual NC document.
The information was enough to be able to select which report you wanted but simple enough to keep it a usable doc.
Typical columns would be: NC#, Customer/Part/Process, Nonconformance, Date Opened, Date Closed.:2cents:

Personally, I believe a register should be used for all failures be they a nonconformance or a noncompliance. When you start having more than one tool, the users start getting confused or lose their interest/engagement in the system.

I have seen some failures that were of a sensitive nature and the process owner felt that the details should not be seen by all employees. In a situation like this, the register was used to record the failure, but the details and associated paperwork were protected from the general population.

Quit using the word "failure" Rox, use "lack of total success" instead and turn a negative into a positive.

You know I'm just teasing;)

Can you share your line of work?

Generally (in mfg.unit) the NCR is supposed to contain details of non conformity, CAPA, and its final disposal viz: rework or scrap.

Hope this helps.

Umang :D

Hi gdn47,
A nonconformity should contain the Nonconformity number, Classification of Nonconformity, i.e. Major, Minor, Observation, Process in which the nonconformity was found, Clause in the standard, Affected / Reference document or procedures, Document revision status, and details of nonconformity
Hope this helps.
Best regards,
