a) Use-as-is b) Repair or Rework using an approved procedure c) Scrap d) Return to Vendor

1.2 When a non-conformance is discovered the Quality Control Manager shall identify the

nonconforming item with “HOLD Tag” (Doc 05) and, where size permits, the affected item will be segregated from any conforming items in a “Hold Area”. Larger items shall be considered segregated if they are conspicuously identified with HOLD. The reason for the nonconformity will be briefly noted on the HOLD by the Operating Personnel, who will initial it and then notify Quality Control Manager.

1.3 The Quality Control Manager will be responsible for preparing a “Non-conformance

Report” (Doc. 08) which will be numbered for easy reference. This report will describe the item(s) affected: nonconforming condition, work order number, drawing number and part number (if applicable). No work will be allowed to proceed on the assembly until satisfactory disposition of the nonconformity has been provided.

1.4 Nonconformities will be reviewed for disposition by the Quality Control Manager and/or

Designate. Upon resolution of the proposed action which must be approved by the Quality Control Manager. The Authorized Inspector will be asked for concurrence before the disposition is implemented. The Authorized Inspector will be given the opportunity to designate additional “HOLD Points” on a revised Inspection and Test Checklist should any welding repairs be proposed including repairs to base material. Authorized Inspector concurrence must also be obtained for any welding procedures to be utilized.

1.5 “Use-as is” dispositions require an engineering resolution and the Quality Control
