Here's my issue.
I work at a plastic injection / CNC machine shop. A few years ago when we were getting ready to conform to AS9100C and receive our first audit, the solution we were given by our consultant to address the need for control of nonconforming product was to build a type of cage that would remain locked. In this cage we stored design critical scrapped parts to prevent them from being accidentally included in a shipment of conforming parts. We also would keep any nonconforming raw materials (plastics/metals) that we received to quarantine them and prevent them from being used until remedied.
We have now finished relocating to a different facility and the cage is no longer an option.
Here's my question.
Does anyone have experience addressing this matter in any other ways besides a full on structure like we did before?
We aren't a big company nor do we have large volumes of nonconforming product at any given time.
