SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? When a lot fails inspection or posts an out-of-spec result, it auto-holds and blocks release or production until someone decides use-as-is, rework, scrap, or return-to-vendor. This Skill guides the agent to assemble a defensible, audit-ready disposition packet across quality, MES, ERP, and PLM systems while keeping every committing or destructive write gated behind human approval. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Disposition Method: Sizes the deviation against tolerance, classifies the characteristic (mating/non-mating, critical/major/minor), scores precedent, scopes WIP and shipped exposure, and checks CAPA recurrence thresholds per ISO 9001/AS9100 clause 8.7 and 21 CFR 820.90. - Priced Option Ranking: Constructs and ranks use-as-is, sort-and-rework, scrap-and-reorder, return-to-vendor, and MRB escalation options across quality, cost, and schedule axes. - Gated Execution: Classifies every write as committing, destructive, or outbound, enforces commit ordering across systems, and defines failure-to-recovery playbooks for missed WIP, wrong spec revisions, and erroneous destructive postings. - Use Case: A bore characteristic reads 0.01 mm over tolerance on an 800-unit lot with 120 units already consumed into assemblies; the Skill produces a use-as-is concession recommendation with precedent evidence, exposure scope, scrap-avoidance cost, and a CAPA trigger on the supplier. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to disposition lot L-3391 which failed inspection with a 12.06 mm reading against a 12.00 +/-0.05 mm tolerance and recommend use-as-is, rework, scrap, or return-to-vendor.

Frequently Asked Questions about nonconformance-disposition

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I disposition a nonconforming lot that failed inspection?

Read the OOS result from the LIMS or QM system and the governing spec from PLM, then size the deviation, classify the characteristic, score precedent, scope WIP and shipped exposure, and rank priced options. The disposition itself is recorded only after a named quality manager approves the recommendation.

When is use-as-is allowed for an out-of-tolerance characteristic?

Use-as-is is defensible only for non-critical characteristics with a documented precedent covering the same feature at an equal or greater deviation that held in the field. Mating or critical function/safety characteristics out of tolerance always route to the material review board.

Does this workflow support SAP QM usage decisions?

Yes, the disposition drives the SAP QM usage decision that posts the lot out of quality-inspection stock, with the concession record and usage decision treated as separate objects depending on implementation. ERP lot status changes are handled through SAP MM movement types and material documents.

What happens if WIP already consumed the nonconforming lot?

The MES as-built genealogy is pulled to count consumed units and identify child serials, and the disposition extends to those assemblies. If affected units already shipped to a customer, the case escalates as a possible field action rather than a lot-level disposition.

When does a nonconformance trigger a CAPA?

A CAPA is recommended when the same characteristic and supplier produce three or more nonconformances within a rolling 90-day window, independent of the per-lot disposition. The exact threshold comes from the organization's CAPA policy; 3 per 90 days is a common default.

Can the agent reverse a scrap or return-to-vendor posting?

No, scrap and return-to-vendor are destructive one-way postings requiring the quality manager's separate explicit affirmation before execution. Reversal is only possible through a gated corrective posting owned by the quality manager, never by the agent.
