| When | Do this |
|---|---|
| You find it | Stop. Tag it where it is: NCR number (or temporary), part, lot, qty, date, defect, your name. Tell the supervisor and quality. Hold the suspects too. |
| Same shift | NCR raised and logged (D19) with the requirement and what was found. Product in the cage. System hold on. |
| Same day | Containment started: every location, including shipped product (B11). Customer told now if it may have shipped (D15). |
| Routine disposition | Rework to the drawing, scrap, return: quality engineer decides and signs. |
| Board case | Use-as-is, repair, non-standard rework, safety-related, suspect parts: MRB record (D20). Evaluate first, then decide. |
| Use-as-is or repair | Design authority approval. Check the contract: where it requires it, customer authorization before release. Record where the answer came from. |
| Scrap | Mark it or lock it up, then make it unusable. Close the NCR after. |
| Suspect counterfeit | Locked shelf, evidence kept, never returned to the supplier (D03). |
| Release | Only on a signed disposition with every approval in hand. Lift the system hold at the same time. Authorization reference on the traveler and certificate. |
| Close | Product action done, records complete, CAPA decision Yes or No on the line. |
| Every week | Walk and reconcile the cage (D18); board for 30 to 45 minutes; clear the flags. |
| Every month | Age, cost, trend and Paretos (F09); repeats to corrective action. |
Age limit: [10] working days in the cage without a disposition. Board: [day and time]. Cage key holders: [names]. Customer authorization follow-up: 10 working days, call at 30 days, re-disposition question at 60.
