I have searched and reviewed other discussions on Nonconformity Reports (NCRs) and Nonconforming Material Reports (NCMRs), and still need input for my question. I am revising our Control of Nonconforming Product procedure, and need to know when/if we need to fill out a NCMR.
We are a manufacturing company. We have a process in place that includes QC inspection of product as it moves through the assembly process. When QC identifies a board that is nonconforming (e.g., component misaligned, solder not sufficient, etc.), QC tags the board and sends it to rework. In these instances, our QC does not fill out an NCMR.
1) do they have to in these simple cases?
2) does finding the one board with insufficient solder (for example) really need to trigger the "control of nonconforming product" procedure (which requires Material Review Board to review and make disposition decision)??
I know if it's a "big" problem, we will need to, but for the occasional one or two boards with quality issues that can easily be reworked, do we need to implement the full procedure?
Help and thanks in advance.
