Reason
In quality control, understanding why tests fail is crucial for driving improvements and preventing recurring issues. The Reason, Reason Groups, and NCMR Reason setups enable users to define, categorize, and analyze failure reasons within the quality control process.
Administration → Setup → Quality Control → Reasons
The Reason form allows the user to define the Reasons why a specific Test Property and Item Property fail during the Quality Control Test process. These defined reasons are critical for in-depth analysis and reporting.
Key features include:
- Reason Codes: Unique identifiers for documenting specific failure reasons.
- Used Count: Tracks how often each Reason Code is used, offering insights into recurring issues.
Reason Groups
Administration → Setup → Quality Control → Reason Groups
The Reason Groups form enables users to categorize individual reasons into broader groups. These groupings simplify analysis and reporting, making it easier to identify patterns and prioritize corrective actions.
NCMR Reason
Quality Control → Reasons → NCMR Reasons
The NCMR Reason form is used to define reasons for Non-Conformance Material Reports (NCMR) during the Quality Control Test process and is used for analysis and reporting purposes.
Key features include:
- Reason Codes: Specific to NCMR-related test failures.
- Used Count: Tracks the usage frequency of each NCMR Reason Code for better reporting.
- Reason Groups: NCMR Reasons can be assigned to specific groups for more detailed categorization.
