QMS Documents

NCR (Non-Conformance Reports):

The Non-Conformance Report identifies a defect finding or process failure and records the information relevant to the finding. This report is commonly used to denote differences between what the customer is expecting to receive and what happened during processing.

CAR (Corrective Action Reports):

The Corrective Action Report can reference an NCR and is the reaction plan for the finding. The CAR is typically used to illustrate that an action has been taken to fix a mistake, and avoid making the same mistake again.

RMA (Return Merchandise Authorization):

A Return Merchandise Authorization form is filled out when a customer has issues with parts completed and needs to send them back to the finisher to be re-worked. Often times, companies will use the RMA form to determine if parts need rework, if the reworked parts will receive an additional charge, or if the defective parts are the fault of the finishing company and will be reworked free of charge. The RMA functions as a workflow to receive parts back from an order that has been closed and it allows the user to rework parts back to an earlier stage in the process.
