Can someone help me with this section of the standard. I am confused as to many things. Example: Paragraph 4.14.3 b) states "determination of the steps needed to deal with any problems requiring preventive action" My definition of "preventive" was to take action before a problem occurred. I.E.: Maintainence on equipment, calibration of gages, inspection of raw material before use are some of my examples of preventive actions. Taking action to "deal with any problems" is corrective action in my book. What am I missing here - any help?? Thanks, CarolX IP: Logged |
