Major Non-conformance and Non-conformance - Looking for official definitions

[Randy]

Minor...bug on windshield

Major...deer in windshield


With a minor you can still function, with a major you're not going anywhere until you fix it. (I actually teach it this way)

That is a great description. My dad would really understand it since he has experienced deer in the windshield.

Why don't you simply consider this:

All Major NC's are high severity cases.

All Minor NC's are low severity cases.

Treat them all, but treat them on priority.

Ciao.

Great analogy, Randy.

Said it before, but it bears repeating. Lucky students to have Randy teaching them!

I think humour works wonders in a classroom - really helps the learning take!

And according to that excellent presentation machrk quoted, this wayyyy increases the retention rate because it combines pictures (word pic here) with text. And adds in humour as well. Top marks all round.
