From open NC to verified closure, on one stepper.
Dovient unifies six inspection types and walks every non-conformance through a visible seven-step lifecycle. No more 'what is the status of that NC'. No more scattered inspection forms. One module, one source of truth.

Disposition decision from quality lead
Six inspection types. One module.
Most quality platforms split these across different forms and tools. Dovient runs every type through the same capture flow so nothing gets missed.
First Article
The first part off a new run or new setup. Confirms the setup is correct.
In-Process
Mid-run sampling. Catches drift before a whole batch goes out of spec.
Final
End-of-line or end-of-batch. Goes / no-goes before product leaves the line.
Patrol
Random floor walks by a quality tech. Catches the stuff the gauges miss.
Receiving
Incoming material check. Vendor gets a NC if the lot fails.
Post-Maintenance
First parts after a PM or repair. Confirms the fix did not break geometry.
Four surfaces a quality engineer opens every day.
Pareto, disposition, severity, verification. Every decision has a record.

Top 20% of codes drive 80% of rejects. Sorted, colour-coded, filter by line and shift.

Disposition splits
Every NC resolved into Use As-Is, Rework, Scrap, Return, or Sort. Quantity tracked per outcome.

Severity badges
CRITICAL NCs lock production until disposition is complete. Major and minor raise flags.

Inspection capture
Template-driven form with photos, measurements, and a pass/fail decision per characteristic.
Quality that feeds the rest of the operation.
Every NC, inspection, and disposition flows into the asset card, the production order, and the OEE quality component. No double entry.
Six inspection types on one entry point
First Article, In-Process, Final, Patrol, Receiving, Post-Maintenance. Single form, single data model.
7-state NC stepper
OPEN → UNDER_REVIEW → CONTAINMENT_DONE → DISPOSITION_PENDING → DISPOSITION_COMPLETE → VERIFICATION_PENDING → CLOSED. Visible checkpoints, named owners.
Defect Pareto live
The top 20 percent of defect codes driving 80 percent of rejects. Filterable by line, shift, and product family.
Disposition tracking
Every NC resolved into Use As-Is, Rework, Scrap, Return to Vendor, or Sort/Segregate. Quantity tracked per outcome, auditable end-to-end.
Severity-based production locks
CRITICAL NCs lock the line until disposition is complete. Major raises flags. Minor captures but does not halt.
Post-maintenance inspection hooks
A completed work order prompts a post-maintenance inspection before the line restarts. Confirms the fix did not break geometry.
CAPA linkage
Every closed NC prompts a corrective and preventive action with an assignee and due date. No CAPA, no close.
Audit evidence pack
Auditors get a filtered pack: inspections, NCs, dispositions, and CAPAs for any date range. One click.
Copilot root cause drafting
A new NC triggers Copilot to draft a first-pass 5-Whys from the asset history and the inspection notes. Engineer refines and saves.
The stepper killed our 'what is the status' emails. The CRITICAL lock policy forced us to close NCs in hours instead of weeks. Our first audit on Dovient took half the time of the last one.
