What it is
A manufacturing complaint-management app is a web tool for producers to capture customer and quality complaints — defects, out-of-spec parts, transit damage, documentation errors — and drive each through investigation, root cause, and corrective action. It acts as a lightweight non-conformance (NCR) register that keeps every complaint traceable to a batch.
What your manufacturing complaint management tracks
Every field below is one you can add, rename, or remove by chatting with Kleap — a starting point tuned for manufacturing.
Complaint / NCR reference
A unique ID for the customer complaint or non-conformance.
Customer / account
Identifies who reported the quality issue.
Product / part number & batch/lot
Pinpoints the affected batch for traceability and containment.
Complaint category (dimensional defect, material, finish, packaging/damage, documentation)
Classifies the quality issue for Pareto analysis.
Severity / priority
Grades safety impact and containment urgency.
Status (new / investigating / resolved / closed)
Tracks the case through the investigation.
Assigned quality engineer
Assigns the investigation to a responsible owner.
Root cause & corrective action (CAPA)
Captures the 8D/CAPA outcome that prevents recurrence.
Disposition (rework, scrap, return, use-as-is)
Records what happened to the affected stock.

Frequently asked questions
Does it integrate with our ERP or QMS?+
No. Kleap builds a standalone web app on its own database and does not connect to ERP, MES, or existing QMS software. You capture part numbers, batches, and CAPA details in the record directly — it is an independent complaint and NCR log.
Can it pull complaints in from customer emails or portals automatically?+
No, there is no automatic ingestion. Complaints are entered by your quality team or through an intake form you publish; the app then manages classification, status, and CAPA tracking.
Can we trace complaints back to a specific batch or lot?+
Yes. Each record stores the part number and batch/lot, so you can filter and count complaints by batch to support containment, traceability, and recall decisions.
Will it auto-escalate an overdue CAPA?+
No. Overdue corrective actions are flagged on the dashboard, but the app does not auto-email or auto-escalate. A quality lead reviews the flags and acts on them.
