Hm
I would lean to say that a non-conformance of any type is a good input for improvement. As improvement is to make something better you can use a N-C as one of the inputs that give you a continuous improvment. Not all N-C may be improvements as some may turn out to be quick fixes. If we take the backup process mentioned above I think a real improvement here would be to analyze, plan, do then check that your actions have improved and secured the process to a working state.
This is just saying that N-Cs can be one input to your comtinuous improvement. Others could be obtained from brainstorming, needs from internal or external interests.
Be good and get even better
