The corrective action process involves implementing actions, processes and procedures to address root cause problems. In an organization, corrective action plan development and implementation involve rectifying and eliminating recurring causes of nonconformities within operations and management systems. These corrective plans are often implemented in response to issues identified during internal audits, high levels of product nonconformance and adverse or unstable trends in process and product monitoring.
NTS Unitek works closely with the respective departments to develop effective corrective action plans for sustained success.
NTS Unitek’s Corrective Action Plan Development and Implementation Process
Our corrective action plan process begins when a process deviates from an intended plan and a root cause is determined.
Our process incorporates these problem-solving steps:
- Locate and document the root cause of the nonconformity: Our qualified and experienced technical specialists will employ a root cause analysis process, typically, a 5 Why or 8D method to document factual root causes of the nonconformity.
- Review the entire process to prevent similar nonconformities: With this step, we employ several practical analyses, including cost-benefit, process gap, process monitoring and improvement analyses. We want to close on the nonconformity issue and ensure it doesn’t reoccur, causing your organization more trouble and incurring additional costs.
- Analyze the effect of nonconformity: We understand that nonconformity may have diverse effects on a product or service, and it’s important to take appropriate action. Depending on the severity of the situation, our team may suggest recalling the product, notifying the customer or scrapping the product altogether. Whichever suggestion we make, we’ll always let you know how and why we arrived at that decision.
- Perform implementation effectiveness: A thorough follow-up confirms the implemented correction actions are effective and that the recurrence of nonconformity has been mitigated.
