Picture this: you’re steering the ship of quality control, ensuring every product sails smoothly through manufacturing. Suddenly, a storm hits – non-conformances due to poor management of corrective actions; as a Supplier Quality Engineer, maybe this nightmare is all too familiar to you.
The diverse causes of non-conformances
Non-conformances are the ever-present issues in the manufacturing ecosystem, and causes can be diverse:
Cause 1: Inadequate Root Cause Analysis:
Inadequate root cause analysis is a breeding ground for recurring non-conformances. As Supplier Quality Engineers, understanding the depth of the issue is critical.
Cause 2: Manual Processes and Documentation:
Human error, delays, and miscommunication thrive in this environment, leading to corrective actions falling through the cracks. Digital tools like PPAP Manager and Kiuey’s full set of solutions are the next big thing to aid every SQE out there.
