Containment

Published by Jeff Hajek on

Containment is an interim quality management step. When a problem is identified, the organization must take steps to prevent defects from escaping. Containment is a method of systematically identifying and quarantining all materials that are suspect until they can be confirmed not to contain defective items.

Note that this is a temporary stopgap measure. The underlying problem should be identified and eliminated through root cause analysis.
