Illustrative connected workflow

One failure.
One continuous quality story.

See how ARQEN carries exact source identity from a drawing requirement and failed inspection into containment, affected product, corrective action, effectiveness, leadership review, and authorized closure.

The connected thread

Each stage produces the governed input required by the next owner. A related-record link alone does not establish containment, cause, effectiveness, or closure.

  1. 01
    Owner

    Inspection

    The requirement enters with a controlled basis.

    The inspection plan identifies the drawing revision, characteristic, nominal value, tolerance, method, and accountable inspector.

    Governed output

    Controlled characteristic

  2. 02
    Owner

    Inspection

    A failed result becomes a quality signal.

    The measured value fails the deterministic tolerance check. The result retains the work order, part, lot, drawing, plan, and evidence references.

    Governed output

    Failed result · NCR required

  3. 03
    Owner

    NCR

    Containment starts from the source record.

    The NCR is created from the failed inspection context. Affected quantity, potentially affected lots, containment, disposition authority, and due dates become governed work.

    Governed output

    NCR + affected product

  4. 04
    Owner

    CAPA

    Recurrence pressure triggers corrective action.

    Escalation carries the originating NCR and product context into cause analysis, corrective actions, implementation evidence, and responsible ownership.

    Governed output

    CAPA + action plan

  5. 05
    Owner

    Verification

    Completion waits for an independent result.

    Implemented actions do not equal effectiveness. Follow-up evidence and an independent review establish whether recurrence risk was actually reduced.

    Governed output

    Effectiveness decision

  6. 06
    Owner

    Leadership

    The same thread reaches management review.

    Leaders see recurrence, supplier or process pressure, overdue commitments, and the source records behind the signal. Decisions return as owned work.

    Governed output

    Decision + review action

  7. 07
    Owner

    Assurance

    Closure preserves the product-quality story.

    Authorized closure leaves an inspectable chain across requirement, result, containment, cause, action, verification, release decision, and retained evidence.

    Governed output

    Reviewable evidence chain

01 · Source
Drawing intake starts with a human review gate

The operator establishes plan context, selects an authorized drawing, and accepts only verified candidate rows before staging an inspection-plan draft.

03 · Contain
The NCR owns the nonconformance decision

Affected product, containment, disposition, responsible people, and evidence remain attached to the exact source event.

Workflow details →Open workspace →
05 · Verify
Corrective action closes on evidence

Cause, implementation, independent effectiveness review, and closure authority remain distinct and inspectable.

What continuity means

Connected without blurring responsibility.

Source identity

Drawing, revision, work order, part, lot, characteristic, and originating record remain visible.

Owning contracts

Inspection, NCR, CAPA, and Management Review each complete their own governed workflow.

Human authority

Qualified people retain disposition, approval, effectiveness, closure, and release authority.

Evidence lineage

Every downstream decision can be inspected against its source record and supporting evidence.
