QAR (Quality Action Request) is among QMDS's most outstanding features. This feature makes sure that people follow up until a conclusion is reached.
From Stochos' Web site: "The QAR’s closed-loop design ensures that no issues fall through the cracks. The QAR manager can improve and maintain the integrity of your problem solving process. The QAR process incorporates; Initiation of a QAR, Disposition of Material (when required), Disposition Sign-off, Root Cause Analysis, Corrective Action, Corrective Action Sign-off, QAR owner verification, and QAR Manager verification that the Corrective Action eliminated the Root Cause of the nonconformance."
 

QAR can handle any issue that you can put into a closed loop. Consider:

• Corrective action requests (scrap, rework, defects, returned product)
• Hiyari (employee-initiated "scare report," where someone identifies a potential trouble source)
• Safety hiyari
• Quality hiyari
• ISO 9000 (or, more generally, quality management system) hiyari
• Suggestion programs
• Proactive improvements
