What are the CAQ Significance levels?
Events or occurrences are expected to happen rarely and consequences are serious.
Events or occurrences are less serious in nature.
Condition may be non-consequential but actions are required to address issue/behavior.
Such as low level material deficiencies on NRS components enhancements, non-consequential issues, tracking issues (e.g. condition not adverse to Quality)
What analysis would you use for a high, medium, or low consequence condition?
Low Consequence:
Human Performance Checklist
Equipment Checklist
