Identify and document deviations
This task involves identifying and documenting any deviations or non-compliance found during the quality control process. These deviations could be related to the product's physical attributes, functionality, or performance. Documenting the deviations helps in understanding the nature and extent of the issues. Include detailed descriptions of the deviations, supporting evidence or data, and any relevant reference numbers or codes. This documentation serves as a record and reference for further analysis or corrective actions.
Assess the seriousness of the deviation
This task involves assessing the seriousness or impact of the identified deviations or non-compliance. Consider the potential consequences of the deviations on the product's functionality, safety, or customer satisfaction. Evaluate the significance of the deviations based on the established standards and criteria. Classify the seriousness of the deviations into categories such as minor, moderate, or major. This assessment helps prioritize corrective actions and determine the required level of response.

Prepare a report on quality control
This task involves preparing a report summarizing the quality control process, inspections, and testing results. The report should include an overview of the product's criteria and performance expectations, details of the inspections conducted, performance test results, identified deviations or non-compliance, and the seriousness of the deviations. Present the information in a clear and organized manner, using charts, tables, or graphs if applicable. Include any recommendations for corrective actions or improvements based on the findings.
Communicate findings to Production team
This task involves communicating the findings of the quality control process to the Production team. Share the inspection and testing results, identified deviations or non-compliance, and the seriousness of the deviations with the relevant stakeholders. Use clear and concise language to convey the information effectively. Provide any additional context or explanations if needed. Collaborate with the Production team to develop appropriate corrective actions or mitigation strategies based on the findings.
Monitor the implementation of corrective actions
This task involves monitoring the implementation of corrective actions or mitigation strategies developed in response to the identified deviations or non-compliance. Regularly check and review the progress of the corrective actions, ensuring that they are being implemented effectively.
