Corrective Action Request (CAR) Form Examples and Discussion

[steve hussain]

I used a nonconformity report that has the root cause analysis, corrective/preventive action along with criteria for closing them out. A corrective/preventive traching form is then used to determine their status.

I would be interested. Thanks.

I would be interested. Thanks.

It looks like you're responding to a post from 2003, by a user who hasn't logged in in two years.

I'd be interested to see these forms as well. <snip>

perhaps with the addition of a definition and an example of a CA and PA your idea of putting both on one sheet of paper would work better.

What I dont understand is why use a request form at all. Why not discuss the isse with the reelvant parties, put the CA in the company data base, either spreadsheet or other and then send them a link to it??

I see this same principle about using reqeusts to change a document when I cannot see why its necessary in many instances.

I am attaching the current form we use to document a CAR or a NCMR.

Oh Boy,
Hear I go ! I have a CAR/MRR (corrective action request /material review report) database that was made in access. Has all the bells and whistles for the whole shebang including a report. I will probably be bombarded by you people, but a copy may be available.

Hi George,

Could you send me a copy please.
Thanks

NOTE: The quoted post is from 2001 and George hasn't stopped by since 2009 so it is doubtful you will get a reply.

If anybody is interested in a pdf file of a sample capa process you can email me.

It would be best if you would post it here as an attachment.

I would like to know what some people are using in the way of forms to capture Corrective/Preventive Actions.

We use to use a "CAR" Corrective Action Request, and have modified it to become an "Issue Notification". The one problem is that most staff see this form for "issues" only - ie. Corrective Action.

Are there any different types of forms that others use to promote both corrective AND preventive action?

I look forward to your replies.

I cannot understand why people still use forms for these sorts of things when, in my experience, these are always done either by email or by oral discussion and agreement???

In my view, forms for these sorts of things belong to the pre-internet/email days, remember faxes?

If done by oral discussion, you would not have any form of documentation. If only completed by email, then it would be more difficult for metrics, and following timelines and procedures within an email chain.
