Adding NC Containments

Purpose

As a Record Owner, you add NC containments to document the immediate actions taken to control a nonconformance. You record how the affected parts, lots, or processes were isolated or held so reviewers can understand how the issue was contained before evaluation continues.

Prerequisites

Product: QualityQuest and Platform Apps

Function: CQ NC Containment Addition

Steps

• Containment Task(s) may also be created during NC Reporting and prior to completing Triage.

• The Containment Policy can also be managed by the NC Owner from the Workflow tab.

1. From the NC record, Containment tab, check the Containment Policy section to see if the Containment Required? checkbox is checked. If not, skip this section.

3. Click the New button to add additional Containment tasks.

4. Add the Containment Title, Due Date, Description, and Assignee.

5. Select if the Containment is Complete. If complete, select the Completion Date and optionally, add the Containment Summary.

6. Optionally, Drop/Upload Files associated with the Containment.

7. Click the Save button or Save & New for additional Containment tasks.
