Examples
- 01A missing heat-treatment certificate is an NC even if the parts themselves are correct.
- 02The quarterly supplier review lists every NC by process step, which shows that half of them come from the packaging area.
- 03When an NC is found, the material is marked, segregated and recorded before any decision on its use.
