Raise, classify and close quality issues with severity and issue-type weighting behind them — escalate to an NCR where it matters, and let recurring pressure surface on the risk register instead of hiding in a folder.
Every issue carries a severity and an issue type, each with its own weight — so ten cosmetic snags never outrank one structural defect.
Log the issue against the project, section or WBS node, with severity and issue type.
Severity × issue-type weighting drives a quality-pressure score, not a raw count.
Close an issue as escalate and the linked non-conformance report spawns automatically.
Nothing sits in isolation. An issue can trigger an inspection, an inspection can raise an NCR, and a recurring pattern becomes a risk on the register.
The chain from a snag on site to a score on the vendor.
Issues and inspection pass-rates feed a derived vendor score with grade bands, an auto/manual override that demands a reason, and a full exportable ledger.
A 0–100 quality score behind the familiar star rating — earned, not typed.
Procurement can force a rating, but it writes a ledger line.
Nothing moves the score without a visible, exportable entry.
