QA FORM 3, MATERIAL REJECT TAG

immediately start the parer work? No! The originator must ensure that the departure is identified during fabrication, testing, or inspection of the completed work. He or she must make every effort to correct each deficiency before initiating the departure request. Work must not continue until the deficiency is corrected or the departure request is approved. Now that we have identified a departure, what do we do with it? We go back to the originator. He or she must ensure that QA Form 12 is properly filled out and forwarded via the chain of command to the QAO. The originator must also retain a copy of the prepared departure request until he or she receives the returned copy from the QAO indicating that all actions concerning the departure have been completed (approved or disapproved). Make sure that the originator has an approved copy of the departure request accompanying the completed work and that the original copy is retained in the CWP.

SUMMARY The QA concept involves preventing the occurrence of defects. Quality assurance covers all events from the start of a maintenance action to its completion and is the responsibility of all maintenance personnel. In addition, organization of your workspaces, your ways of storing parts, and your relationships with the SKs all affect the quality of your product. By carefully following the methods and procedures outlined in your QA program manuals and by paying careful attention to the quality of work in your area, you will contribute greatly to the operational effectiveness of both your ship and tended units. 6-13
