For ISO 9001 and IATF 16949 plants that keep nonconformities in Excel
Nonconformities and corrective actions, in order for the audit, not the week before it.
Send me the header row of your register. On a 20-minute call I show you the same register as an app: your own columns, an owner, a due date and a status on every nonconformity, and a history of who changed what.
Free, no commitment. A copy with the names removed works too.
Not long ago I received the header row of a register from a plant in Bulgaria. The same day, a first version was ready: the same columns, corrective actions linked to each nonconformity, and a dashboard of what was overdue.
Sound familiar?
The register is in Excel, and the audit is coming.
- Nobody remembers who moved a due date or changed a status, or when.
- Overdue actions come to light the week before the audit.
- The summary for management review is assembled by hand.
- Customer complaints and 8D reports sit in separate files that are not tied to the nonconformities.
What you get
One register, with your own columns.
A register with your columns
Number, date, description, who raised it, owner, due date, closing: as you keep them now. I add only what you ask for, such as severity, process, product, supplier, root cause or cost.
Corrective actions sit on the nonconformity
Every action has an owner, a due date, a status and an effectiveness check, and you reach it straight from the nonconformity's record.
Complaints and 8D
Customer complaints with their 8D stages, linked to the nonconformities and the products they concern.
A daily list of what is overdue
A daily run flags open nonconformities past their due date and sends the list to whoever owns the workflow. When you close one, the closing date fills in by itself.
History on every record
Every change is recorded: who, when, from which value to which, including changes made by automations. A wrong change can be reverted.
Access to the register only
You invite colleagues to this one app, each with a role: who only reads, who edits. Your data exports back to CSV at any time.
How we start
Three steps. The first one is yours.
You send the header row
By email or on LinkedIn. A copy of the sheet with the names removed is fine.
I show you a first version
With your columns, on a 20-minute call. Whatever you want changed, I change on the spot.
You try it with your team
In a workspace of your own. If it does not work for you, you simply stop.
Questions
Before you send the sheet.
What does it cost?
The first version and the pilot are free. If you decide to continue, you will know the price before you pay anything.
Do we have to leave Excel straight away?
No. Start with nonconformities only and add actions and complaints later. Your data exports back to CSV at any time.
Who can see the data?
Only the people you invite to the app, with the role you give them.
Is this a quality management system?
It is not a certified system and it does not replace your procedures. It keeps the register, the actions and their history in order, so the evidence is at hand when the auditor asks for it.
Shall I prepare a first version with your sheet?
Send only the header row. I will offer you two slots for a 20-minute call.
