Material Deficiency Reports
A Material Deficiency Report, or MDR, is a form that can be completed for as part of the inspection process for a faulty purchased part. Completing an MDR is a two-stage process:
-
After receiving a purchase order, the QA
team issues an MDR to report on problems with parts received. The MDR may include requests for vendor corrective action.
-
The MDR is received by the Purchasing team which contacts the vendor to determine the best way to resolve the MDR.
To complete an MDR, under the Quality > Internal Rejection folder, access the Supplier Rejection - Material Deficiency Report (MDR) [S2375] screen.
The Purchasing team will then review and action the MDR on the Resolve MDRs for Production [S1545] screen.
