Non-Conforming Material Management

The Non-Conforming Material Management application (NCM) is an enterprise software solution that enables accurate and real-time non-conforming material tracking. The system integrates to existing material management systems (e.g. mainframes or ERP) to immediately reconcile inventory, reducing processing and labor effort associated with negative material-flow events. NCM replaces traditional hand written tags and provides company-wide visibility into managing all aspects of the non-conforming material process.
