Plant ApplicationsModify the Continue-to-Process (CTP) Disposition Method
About this task
- The operation until which the serial/lot can be processed.
- The disposition method, which can be changed from CTP to any of the other disposition methods such as, Clear, Scrap, Rework or Use as is.
- The disposition action reasons.
- Additional information related to the disposition.
The following conditions apply when you modify a CTP disposition method:
- When you select the CTP disposition method for a plan, all the defects in the plan are moved to the Active status.
- You can modify the CTP disposition method only if all the defects in the plan are in the Active status. If at least one of the serials/lots completes the CTP operation (that is, the defect moves to the Submitted status), you cannot modify the CTP disposition method.
- You can dispose the plan if all the serials/lots complete the CTP operation (that is, all the defects are moved to the Submitted status).
- When a non conformance is disposed as CTP to an operation in a mutually exclusive set, then all the operations in that mutually exclusive set will go on hold by default.
Procedure
- Search for the plan that is associated with the defect by performing one of the following steps:
- If the plan appears in the left pane or workspace, select the link.
- Enter the plan number in the Enter a Serial/Lot, NCR, WO, Plan, Material, Material Family box. When you dispose multiple defects, the plan number is added or selected by you when you create a plan. When you dispose a single defect, the plan number is generated when you submit the disposition method.
- Select
. The Disposition window appears, displaying a list of serials/lots corresponding to the defects in the plan. The check boxes for all the serials/lots in the list are selected and disabled. - Modify values as specified in the following table.
Box Description Dispositions This box contains the value Continue to process. If you want to continue with the CTP disposition method, but want to specify a different CTP operation or reasons, do not modify this value. If, however, you want to specify a different disposition method, select an option as described in the following table. Option Description Clear Select this option if the defect raised for the serial/lot is not considered a defect. Use as is Select this option to use the serial/lot in the operations as it is. Scrap Select this option to discard the serial/lot. Rework Select this option to rework on the non-conforming part, and then select the operation on which the defective pieces should be reworked, in the USE UNTIL/REWORK OPERATION box. Note: In the list of operations to be reworked, the excluded operations from the mutually exclusive set will not appear.MRB Select MRB to indicate that the defect must be reviewed by the material board, thus deferring the disposition to a later date. This will allow the quality team in your organization to determine the correct disposition method. USE UNTIL/REWORK OPERATION Select the operation until which the serial/lot can be processed. This box appears only for the following disposition methods: - ReworkNote: In the list of operations to be reworked, the excluded operations from the mutually exclusive set will not appear.
- Continue to processNote: When a non conformance is disposed as CTP to an operation in a mutually exclusive set, then all the operations in that mutually exclusive set will go on hold by default.
APPROVAL WORKFLOW Select the approval workflow(s) if you need approval to dispose the defect. The approval workflow(s) are created in the Approval Cockpit application and then the workflow must be assigned in the Plant Applications Web Admin. Refer to 'Create a Workflow' and the 'Non-Conformance Management' chapter in the Plant Applications Web Admin User's Guide. Note:- You must have administrative access to configure the dispositions and to assign approval workflows in the Plant Applications Web Admin.
- Multiple workflows can be assigned to a disposition type in the Plant Applications Web Admin, but only one workflow can be selected during the disposition process in the Non Conformance application.
The delegated approver groups in the workflow must provide their approval (in the Approval Cockpit application) to dispose the defect. The status will be Pending Approval until the disposition is approved. Refer to Approve or Reject a Workflow.
If the approval workflow is not created in the Plant Applications Web Admin, the Approval Workflow list is empty, this indicates the disposition for the defect does not require any approval and the defect can be disposed without any approval.
SELECT DISPOSITION ACTION REASON Select the hierarchy of reasons for the disposition action. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Enter any relevant information, such as a URL, contact details of the supplier, or any information that is helpful to perform the root cause analysis of the non-conformance. - Rework
- Select Submit.
