Key Features of Our Non-Conformance Management Software

Our Non-Conformance Management System is more than just a tracking tool—it’s a robust, configurable solution designed to improve your quality management processes, ensure compliance, and provide deeper insights into your operations.

Permission-Based Access for Better Control

Our non-conformance software is built with role-based permissions to ensure that only authorized users can perform specific activities. This enhances security, reduces the risk of errors, and ensures that critical tasks are performed by the right people. Module managers or authorized personnel control who can initiate, approve, or edit non-conformance records (NCRs), ensuring clear accountability.

Flexible NCR Origins and Customization

Our system allows you to initiate NCRs from multiple origins — whether internal, customer-related, or supplier-driven. This flexibility ensures that you can capture non-conformance events from all areas of your business, improving oversight. Additionally, the Non-Conformance system offers customization options so you can tailor the software to your specific needs, from default settings to workflow processes.

Custom Fields for More Detailed Tracking

Easily add custom fields to NCRs to track additional information specific to your organization’s processes. In addition to standard fields like title, department, category, and failure mode, you can capture the unique data you need to improve quality control and enhance reporting.

Initiate and Track CAPA Actions

Easily initiate CAPAs directly from NCRs. The details from the NCR are automatically transferred to the <a href=’https://www.qi-a.com/capa-management-software’>CAPA module</a>, making it simple to create a corrective or preventive action plan without duplicating data entry. This seamless integration accelerates issue resolution and helps you maintain comprehensive records for compliance.

Send NCRs to the Material Review Board (MRB)

If necessary, you can send NCRs to the Material Review Board (MRB) for further review. The responsible person can assign selective members of the MRB to review the NCR and provide feedback, ensuring thorough evaluation before disposition.

Advanced Search & Analytics

Our software offers advanced search capabilities that allow you to retrieve NCRs based on specific criteria. Whether you’re looking for trends, performance issues, or root causes, you can drill down into your data and generate customizable charts and reports for in-depth analysis and continuous improvement.

Efficient Data Sharing & Reporting

Easily share NCR records with internal and external stakeholders via email. The system automatically includes any attachments, ensuring that everyone involved in the resolution process has access to the most up-to-date information.

Categorize and Analyze Non-Conformance Events

Easily associate each NCR with a category and failure mode. Disposition types are defined by category, ensuring each non-conformance is categorized properly for analysis. This streamlines the investigation process and ensures that corrective actions are targeted and effective. Plus, you can reference and link multiple NCRs to track related events and their resolutions.

Configurable Email Alerts for Timely Action

Our system allows you to initiate NCRs from multiple origins—whether internal, customer-related, or supplier-driven. This flexibility ensures that you can capture non-conformance events from all areas of your business, improving oversight. Additionally, the Non-Conformance system offers customization options so you can tailor the software to your specific needs, from default settings to workflow processes.

Involve Suppliers and Customers Directly

Our software allows supplier representatives to be assigned as responsible persons for NCRs related to their site, ensuring that non-conformance events are addressed at the source. Similarly, customer representatives can also initiate NCRs related to their organization, ensuring all stakeholders have a voice in the quality management process.

NCR Dashboard for Real-Time Visibility

Our intuitive NCR dashboard provides a real-time snapshot of all open NCRs. Track the current status of each NCR, see the required actions, due dates, and who is responsible for the next steps. This dashboard ensures that no issue falls through the cracks and that every NCR is managed efficiently and effectively.

Disposition Actions with Multiple Reviewers

Disposition actions are critical to closing NCRs, and our system allows multiple users to provide input. Each NCR can have different disposition types, sent to various users for review and approval, ensuring that the final resolution is thoroughly vetted before closure.

Collaborate with Discussion Notes and Attachments

Keep all relevant information in one place by adding discussion notes and attachments to NCRs. Authorized users can document additional context or insights that can aid in the resolution process, ensuring that all relevant information is captured for future reference.

Edit Capabilities for Ongoing Adjustments

Authorized users can make changes to NCR records as needed. Whether it’s correcting data, updating statuses, or modifying resolution plans, the system’s edit capabilities ensure that your team can adapt to changing circumstances and keep all records accurate and up to date.

Resolve Issues Before They Escalate With Automated Workflow

Our Non-Conformance management system will help you proactively identify and address issues with automated workflows. So you can ensure timely corrective actions and prevent escalation to improve operational efficiency and compliance.
