Corrective Action
Action that eliminates the root cause of a detected nonconformity to prevent recurrence.
Examples
- 01The corrective action for wrong torque was a new fixture that makes it impossible to fasten the bolt without the calibrated tool.
- 02The supplier review checks that each corrective action names the root cause it removes and the date it was verified.
- 03Three months after the corrective action, defect data is reviewed again to prove the problem has not returned.
