Corrective Action Plan

Also known as: corrective action planning

A corrective action plan records how a verified problem cause will be addressed and how the effectiveness of the change will be checked.

A corrective action plan documents the changes intended to address a verified cause of a problem and how those changes will be implemented and checked. Its focus is preventing the same cause from producing the problem again.

For a recurring property-service issue, a management application is to connect the observed problem, supporting evidence, planned process change and effectiveness review. Recording that a task was completed is different from verifying that the underlying problem was resolved.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is an immediate repair always a corrective action?

No. An immediate correction can fix the current instance. Corrective action addresses its verified cause and includes checking whether the change worked.
