Re: Its not right.

Let's see what Jim Wynne says.....:D

Stijloor.
Jim says to read Wes's post. The dictionaries haven't all caught up with the word yet; it's still in the realm of jargon. Personally, I favor "nonconformance" for reasons of economy (why add a hyphen or space if it's not necessary?) and the precedent of "nonconformist."

Re: Its not right.

even more rarely I might refer to something a "Cluster F____" ;)
That's only if there are more than one "foul up" -

Since the English language is ever changing, I like the idea of a "Wes event" until the next buzzword comes along.

semi-off topic:
The way most organizations seem to be conducting Kaizen events (operating under the illusion any change is an improvement), I think they would be more properly termed "Wes events" using the new, updated lexicon created by Randy.;) Of course, Scott's term might be MORE accurate!:lmao: We'd just explain the term is Scottese instead of Japanese:notme:

Please, won't somebody think of the children?

What'll happen to the abbreviations NCR and NC if we concatenate non conformance, NR and N? <shudder>

Easy... don't issue NCR's.

We issue CAR's for process Foul ups and DMR's for material Foul Ups
(Corrective Action Request and Discrepant Material Report respectively.)
