Fair-Rite Products Corp. Supplier Corrective/ Preventive Action Policy
Fair-Rite Products Corp. requires the elimination of the
effects of experiencing quality nonconformances. Nonconformance can be defined
as not meeting quality expectations; this can include late delivery,
nonconforming material, among others.
Fair-Rite’s Incoming Inspection uses a
Zero Based Acceptance (C=0), AQL 0.65% Sampling Plan to assist in identifying
quality material. If nonconforming material is found to be shipped and not
formally accepted by way of a variation notice, it will be moved to our MRB
quarantine location, at which time the appropriate Quality, Process and/or
Manufacturing Engineer will evaluate and disposition the material. Fair-Rite’s
Quality group may issue a Supplier Corrective Action which can affect the
supplier's quality rating.
Effective corrective action addresses
the root cause of the condition so that it will not occur again. Fair-Rite
expects a containment response within 2 days (8D CAR completed up through D-3)
and most corrective and preventive actions to be complete within 14 days
(8D CAR completed through D-8). Fair-Rite understands that some issues
involve a more in-depth investigation and corrective action resolution,
which may take longer than 14 days. In that event, Fair-Rite expects to
be notified of such an approach with an expected date of completion previous
to the 14 day expiration date.
Suppliers must send documented supplier
corrective action to Fair-Rite’s Quality group for review, acceptance and
recording. Fair-Rite’s Quality group may take exception to the proposed
action if deemed inappropriate or ineffective, and request further
investigation and action by the supplier. Failure to provide and implement
effective corrective action is potential cause for the supplier's removal
from Fair-Rite Products Corp.’s Approved Supplier List (ASL).
