Re: Corrective Action
If nothing changes i.e. procedure, policy, work instruction ,drawing etc then corrective action has not been applied and will not remove the root cause. For a corrective action to be effective, a change is required?
Hi Matrix.
Perhaps the premise is that the procedure, policy, work instruction ,drawing etc are all perfect and that all is well.
There may not be a need for a change here at all.
Changes in personnel, material, environment may have occured, giving you a corrective action situation.
Therefore when the root cause analysis is done well, things other than the procedure, policy, work instruction ,drawing etc may be addressed, OR any one or more among the procedure, work instruction ,drawing etc will be tweaked to the next revision (changed) in order to accommodate the faced change.
So a change is not always necessary in the CA process limited to these ie. procedure, policy, work instruction ,drawing etc.
