SpP Complaints & NCMR

The complaint's type and some other fields are used to assign the case:

• If the type is "Supply chain": case type primary + BU + plant. Please note that BU will be removed from iCare in 2021 (with ECCO project) so this logic should change.
• If the type is "Technical": product family + plant. 

Users indicated on the creation form will be automatically changed by the system according to these rules.

If the account is a SKA one, then some users also are notified:

• The Sales Manager (routing matrix) and Cluster VP receive a notification.

• Users on “SKA complaint notification” public group receives a notification.

To learn more about the notifications, please refer to these 2 Jira:

Initiation

Containment: to find the solution. Example: change the packaging of one product if a liquid flows. It is the case owner who is managing this step.

Investigation and Verification: if the case owner considers the request as “not valid”, then the stage goes automatically to “Closed”. It is then required to fill in rejected date + rejected by + closing summary.

Resolution

Root cause: selected when the investigator found the origin of the issue.

Implementation

Verify effectiveness & prevent recurrence: we start working on a solution. Investigator has to assign an "Effectiveness auditor". He validates or not the solution.

About the status:

• Closed - Awaiting CA Verification: after 50 days, a notification is sent to the case owner. Technically, it will be indicated “Closed” on the path but it will be needed to change the status from “Verify Effectiveness” to “Prevent Recurrence”.
• Prevent Recurrence: open the tab “Closed”.

Closed

Is customer communication required?

• If no : Closed - No further communication = no communication sent.
• If yes: Closed - Final Customer Communication.

If the complaint is open but without activity: the Process Owner receives a notification within 3 days.
A notification also is sent to all case teams each 6 hours (12am, 6am, 12pm and 6pm).

No! If someone manually changes the status on the "Details" page, it is required to change it back so the system can correctly works. When working on tickets related to complaints, please be careful and check the history. If you notice that one step is missing, it means that someone changed the status manually. Example: you can't just close a complaint. Steps before have to be completed.

NCMR is not a complaint and never related to a customer . It is ony internal quality process to track Product non conformity (SpP was using obsolete DB Lotus Notes to register NCMR, other GBUs are using Gensuite or other applications).

NCMR has Status "Open " only during creation, status will automatically change to "Containment", then all statuses are changed manually by user , normally only 2 different persons are involved in this process and are part of site Quality team : originator/investigator and case manager who verifies prior to close NCMR )

Order information is entered by any user at creation but only few users having permission set can modify .

Planned Completion date : this date is used to generate an email notification the day after to case manager to proceed to verification and then closure.

Re-open NCMR : only Process owner / GBU data steward or Admin can re-open a NCMR : always transfer to process owner first or in absence to GBU data steward , Admin lite to do only if no other option.

Closure NCMR : only authorized users can close a NCMR (Permission set = "Permission to close NCMR") . There is another persmission set named "Ppermission to Edit NCMR" but that cannot Edit closed NCMRs , only open ones , must re-open NCMR prior to Edit .

There is a NCMR dashboard to follow activities .
