When to use this form
Use this form the moment you spot a defect, nonconformance, or near miss that could impact customers, safety, or compliance. It helps operators, quality engineers, and site leads capture what happened, where, and which lots or serial numbers are affected, so you can contain the issue fast. Typical triggers include wrong material in incoming inspection, paint blistering on the line, or damage found during a site walk. If the issue was found in the field, pair the report with details from the Site visit form. For equipment-related incidents, reference recent checks from the Safety harness inspection checklist form. For potential hazards, attach relevant notes from a Fire safety inspection checklist form to support your decision to stop work or cordon off an area.
Must Ask Quality Alert Questions
- What product, batch or lot, or process step is affected?
Your answer pins the scope so you can isolate inventory, work in progress, and customers at risk. It speeds containment and avoids over-correcting unaffected areas.
- What exactly is the issue, and how does it deviate from the spec or standard?
Give measurable details (photos, counts, limits) so you enable objective triage and later root-cause analysis. Clear evidence reduces back-and-forth and prevents vague reports.
- When and where was it detected (date and time, shift, station, site)?
Time and place help you trace upstream causes and find other units made under the same conditions. They also point to who should be notified on-site for immediate checks.
- What immediate containment action did you take, and what risk remains?
You show whether the hazard is controlled and if you must stop the line or hold shipments. It documents containment steps so others can verify status and continue the investigation safely.
- Did a supplier contribute to the issue, and who will follow up?
Naming the vendor and contact lets you escalate quickly and issue corrective action requests; link planned actions to the Supplier audit checklist form. Clear ownership keeps the investigation moving.
