The identification, corrective action, root cause analysis and preventive actions taken to resolve a non-
conformity shall be detailed and recorded on form no. XXXXX which shall become the Non-Conformity Report
(NCR). A specific NCR shall be completed for each detected non-conformity.

All NCRs shall be entered by the Project Manager or delegate in the project’s NCR log (tracker). This tracker
shall be kept up to date and be made available to all CONTRACTOR and Client project personnel.

The following steps and details will be recorded within NCRs:

Identification - This section shall include the major source / origin for the non-conformity and specific work
phase where the non-conformity has originated. The identification process shall also include a narrative /
explanation of the activity that has permitted the non-conformity to be detected.

Correction - For each non-conformity detected, a proposed solution (correction) to resolve the detected
problem must be identified, agreed, and approved. Approval of proposed corrections will generally be made
by the CONTRACTOR Project Manager however the approval and verification requirements will be extended to
the Client or other 3rd Parties as appropriate to the Non- Conformance/ context. Once all the required parties
agree to the remedial action, the corrective actions shall be implemented within a set timeframe.

Root Cause Analysis - All processes and product non-conformities, including Client formal complaints, shall be
analysed to discover and, where possible, minimize or eliminate their root causes to prevent future
recurrences.

Preventative Actions - Where necessary, preventive actions shall be agreed upon and implemented to
eliminate the causes of potential non-conformities or other undesirable potential situation. A correct root
cause identification will lead to a right identification of the corrective and preventive actions. Lessons learned
shall be recorded and circulated across the business by means of internal Quality Bulletins and Quality Alerts.
