Non conforming Management document issuing (MRR or RdC)

When non conformity occurs, the supplier (by means of its Quality Unit) shall formalize
the non conformity by issuing the non conformity tag (MRR or RdC).
Non conformity tag form Numbering

It must be indicated:
• the Product/Project/Service (P/N, description, quantity, etc)

• all activities requested by contract/Purchase order.
Alenia Aeronautica Quality Control identifies for each Supplier and for each program, a
numerical range to be used for the document code identification. This code will be used
by Alenia Aeronautica data base system for traceability, monitoring and statistical
analysis. The supplier must assure the chronological sequence within the its numerical
range (related to specific program).
Material Segregation
The supplier must identify non conforming materials by means of labels or tags. These
labels or tags have to indicate MRR code number. The MRR number must be indicated
on the working document in order to point out the stand-by condition.
The supplier must segregate non conforming materials in order to avoid its non
authorized use.
Non Conformity Management
• Non conformity management with a technical disposition requiring activity at

Supplier
Non conforming management following steps:
− Non conformity identification, MRR/ RdC Form filling-up and its shipping to Alenia
Aeronautica.
− Application and inspection of technical disposition received by Alenia Aeronautica.
− MRR / RdC filing.

• Non conformity Management with a technical disposition requiring activity

during the next assembly phases
The technical disposition, in order to solve the non conformity, can foresee activity during
the next assembly phases. These could be performed by an Operative Unit different from
the one which generated the non conformity in the first place.
The steps to be followed for the management of non-conformity document issued by a

Supplier with a technical disposition which requires an assembly activity at an Alenia
Aeronautica Operative Unit are:
− Non conformity finding, MRR / RdC form filling-up sending to Alenia Aeronautica.
− Application and inspection of technical disposition provided by Alenia Aeronautica.
− MRR / RdC deliver to Alenia Aeronautica Quality Control Unit which performs the
tecnical disposition ctivity during assembling phase.
− MRR filing as supporting Alenia Aeronautica/Alenia Aeronautica S.p.A. Customer
approval.
In the same way, methods for the management of non-conformity document issued by a
Supplier with a technical disposition that requires activity during assembling phases at a
different Supplier must be agreed with Alenia Aeronautica
The whole management of MRR / RdC document is always under responsibility of
Supplier Quality Control which has issued the non conformity form and that it is
responsible for its filing.
Visibility status of non conformity at supplier

Supplier must provide a dedicated visibility, on a monthly basis, ordered by programs of
issued MRR / RdC for each program.
Filing time
The supplier shall file the original copy of issued non conformity documents for 10 years.
After expiration of this period, supplier shall require Alenia Aeronautica authorization to
destroy the documents.
MRR/RdC Document Filling-Up

Supplier shall manage non conformity document by means of original form. After non
conformity closure, the Supplier shall:
• file and save the MRR document
• send a copy of MRR document to Alenia Aeronautica Quality Control which receives
the parts
In some particular cases (urgency, too much distance of the Supplier, etc.), MRR
document can be sent by fax., upon authorization.
In this case the supplier shall attach the faxed copy to the original document.

Basic Rules
Parts having different P/N shall not be treated by the same document.
Parts having same P/N, but affected by different types of defects shall not be treated by
the same document.
Non conformity description shall be in Italian and when required in English, too.
Non conformity shall be clearly indicated by detailed description of defect by significant
dimensional checks and completed by a sketch or partial drawing copy.
Dimension reported on the MRR/RdC document shall be in the same units user in the
drawing.
Instructions for MRR form compilation by the supplier

The instructions for the compilation of MRR/RdC form blocks, which are Supplier
responsibility, are in annex 8.
Re-classification of the non-conformity

If non conformity is classified as concession (Concession/Waiver/Raporte de Controle) by
the Alenia Aeronautica Design Office, Supplier upon Alenia Aeronautica Quality Control,
shall change the non conformance document according to the specific program
requirement.
