Thirty years ago (to be safe) this topic would not exist. There would have only been one way of processing a Corrective Action Request: Using a copy of the CAR master form, the originator would have completed his/her section longhand, either hand-written or with a typewriter, and delivered the CAR form to the next person, and so on. Each person would have filled-out his/her section longhand until the CAR was done. Afterwards, the completed forms that were to be kept as records would have been stored in a file cabinet.
Not anymore. Now the master may be in MS-Word or MS-XL format, for example, and ‘could’ be filled-out (1) as before, or (2) ‘electronically’, or (3) a variation of both. How do you do it at your company?
(1) Using a copy of the form (even if the original is in Word or XL), fill it out longhand all the way, and when done, store it as a record in file cabinet?
(2) Using a ‘copy’ of the form in MS-Word (for example), have each person access the form using a PC, and ‘type/enter’ the pertinent information, and when done save the form in the appropriate records folder?
(3) Same as 2, above, but allow those who don’t have access to a PC to write the information longhand and then have ‘someone’ else enter the handwritten information onto the ‘electronic’ form?
