Modules · Non-Conforming Materials

Keep non-conforming material
off the truck.

When something doesn’t meet spec, TLM captures it, puts it on hold, and drives it to a documented disposition — use-as-is, rework, scrap, or return to supplier — so nonconforming material never quietly makes it into your product or onto a truck. And because TLM is two apps on one system, the floor can flag and quarantine in a browser while your quality team controls the dispositions.

What Non-Conforming Materials does

Catch it, hold it, and decide its fate — on the record.

Flag it the moment it’s found

Receiving, in-process, or final — on the floor or at the dock, the moment something looks off, it’s in the system.

Quarantine & hold

Segregate nonconforming material so it can’t be grabbed and used by mistake while its fate is decided.

Documented disposition

Use-as-is (justified), rework, scrap, or return to supplier — never an undocumented judgment call on the floor.

Material Review Board

Route to the right people for a controlled, signed decision — not a hallway conversation.

Linked to the source

The supplier, the part and lot, the CAPA, the deviation — so the pattern behind the reject is visible.

The traceable record

Quantity, disposition, cost, and approvals — captured and audit-ready, every time.

The dual-app advantage

One system. Two apps. The right tool for every person.

TLM runs as a deep desktop/network Main App and a modern browser Web App on one shared database. Your quality team controls the dispositions; the floor and MRB just do their part.

The AI advantage · TLM, multiplied by Claude

See what keeps failing — and who keeps sending it.

Ask Claude which parts, lots, or suppliers drive the most nonconformances, in plain English, and let Claude Reporting build the scrap-and-reject trend from live data. When one supplier keeps showing up, that’s a CAPA — and a supplier re-approval — waiting to happen.

One connected system

A reject is a thread you can pull.

Every nonconformance links to its supplier, part, and lot, can open a CAPA or a supplier re-approval, feeds return-to-supplier and RMA activity, and rolls into your scrap cost, metrics, and Management Review — so one bad lot tells you everything it should.
