What should be reported when a product is found to have quality deficiencies?

When a product is found to have quality deficiencies, the SF 368, also known as the Product Quality Deficiency Report, is the appropriate document to use. This report is specifically designed to capture and report any deficiencies in the quality of products. By utilizing the SF 368, personnel can document the nature of the deficiency, its impact on operations, and any recommendations or corrective actions that may be necessary. This systematic approach helps ensure quality control and allows for a review process to address the identified issues appropriately.

Using the correct form for reporting quality deficiencies is crucial, as it aids in tracking and resolving problems, which is essential for maintaining the integrity of the supply chain and ensuring that products meet the necessary standards. Other forms like the DD Form 1225, DD Form 1608, and SF 361 serve different purposes, such as processing claims, inspections, or product evaluations, and are not designed specifically for reporting quality deficiencies.
