Corrective Action

Corrective action refers to steps taken to identify, address, and rectify problems or deficiencies in a process, system, or organization. It's a proactive approach aimed at preventing issues from recurring. For instance, if a manufacturing defect is found, corrective action involves investigating the root cause, implementing solutions, and monitoring to ensure the problem does not happen again. This process helps improve overall quality and efficiency, ensuring that standards are met and risks are minimized. In essence, it’s about learning from mistakes and making necessary adjustments for better outcomes in the future.
