Containment

protecting the customer immediately

Containment are the immediate actions that stop nonconforming parts from reaching the customer: sorting, 100 % inspection, quarantine, checking stock and parts in transit. In an 8D report it is step D3.

Containment is temporary and must be removed when the permanent corrective action is verified.
