Create MRB Case
Explanation
This activity is used to report a detected non conformance or defect of a
raw material, part, component, or product, thus creating a material review
board (MRB) case. Any item that does not conform to the governing
specification, drawing, or other approved product description can be
reviewed through the MRB. The non conformance can include discrepancies such
as expired parts, physical appearance not up to standard, parts not fitting
properly etc. The specific type of non conformance is entered when creating
a MRB case. It can be reported for an individual part or a whole batch of the same lot number, or just for
a serial number.
A MRB case can be generated against an inventory part in an inventory location,
for a purchase order receipt, or on a shop order (at the shop order level,
for material or operations, for shop order co-products and disassembly
components). The necessary parts are then isolated. Reserved
parts or parts in transit are also taken into consideration. The MRB decides
the disposition of the parts after inspection, for instance,
scrapped or sent back for rework.
When creating a MRB case the dialog New MRB Case
is used.
The dialog can be accessed from different pages. To access the dialog from the:

This option is not available for analyses created for by products.
- In Enter and View Results assistant, Click
New MRB Case.
In the dialog enter a non conformance code and optionally additional
information. Enable
Print Labels if you want to print labels to identify the parts being
reviewed by the MRB. Enter the quantity that needs to be inspected by the
MRB in the MRB Quantity field. If the MRB case is created from the Inventory
Parts In Stock page a specific availability control which is set to isolate or
freeze the parts and prevent them from being available for use must be
entered. Finally click OK.
Prerequisites
- Basic data for non conformance must be defined.
- The part must be an inventory part.
- If you are creating a MRB case for a shop order material for a multilevel
tracked shop order part and the component is serial or lot batch tracked,
the shop order as-built structure must have been built.
For the Inventory Parts In Stock page:
- The part must be in a location other than Arrival or Quality
Assurance.
- The quantity in stock must be greater than zero.
- Any previous MRB cases existing for the part in that location, must
have been completed.
For the Inspection Management page:
- A purchase order in To be Inspected status must exist.
- Any previous MRB cases existing for the receipt must have been completed.
For the Analysis Results page:
- The Analysis status should be Confirmed.
- The Variable Result Status should be “Out
of Specification” and/or Attribute Result Status
should be “Non Conformities Exists” and/or
Category Result Status should be “Non Conformities
Exists”.
In Enter and View Results assistant:
- Inspection Results should be Confirmed.
- The Variable Result Status should be “Out
of Specification” or Attribute Result Status
should be “Non Conformities Exists” or Category
Result Status should be “Non Conformities Exists”.
For the Receipt or Receipts
pages:
- A purchase order in To be Received or To be Inspected
status must exist.
- If the part is lot/batch tracked, a lot/batch number must have been
entered.
For the Shop
Order, Shop Order Materials, Shop Order Operations,
Shop Order Operations
Reporting, Shop Orders or
Work Center Operations Shop Floor Workbench pages:
- A non-MRO shop order or a shop order operation that is in Started or
Parked status must exist.
- To create an MRB case against the shop order header, the
Order Type must not be Disassembly.
- To create an MRB case against a shop order material line, the material
line must be in Issued status.
System Effects
- A MRB case in status Planned will
be created for the selected quantity and the non conformant parts will be
isolated until the disposition is decided.
- When the MRB case is created from inventory, the part's availability
is changed according to the selected availability control.
- For purchase receipts, parts can only be moved to a quality inspection
location until the entire quantity for the MRB case is dispositioned.
- For purchase receipts, more parts cannot be received in to stock, parts
cannot be scrapped or returned, and any connected purchase order receipts
cannot be canceled, until the MRB case is resolved.
- If the Print Labels is enabled, labels will be printed.
- If a serialized and/or lot/batch tracked part is submitted to the MRB
case, a record will be saved in the part serial history and/or lot batch
history indicating its submission to the MRB.
- If a default checklist template has been defined for the entered
non conformance code, this will be used on the MRB case. If a default
value for the non conformance code does not exist, but a default value
exists for the site, this value will be used on the MRB case. The
default checklist template must have Default enabled.
- An event server message will be sent to the planner who submitted the
parts.
