What Is a Corrective Action Plan?
A corrective action plan is a document intended to minimize inefficient practices in an organization and to solve problems within it to meet its objectives.
How to Create a Corrective Action Plan?
- Conduct a root cause analysis to identify what is causing the problem, why it’s occurred, and whether it’s happened before. You can use the cause and effect analysis or the 5 whys analysis to conduct the root cause analysis.
- Once you’ve identified the root cause of the problem, it’s time to develop a solution to prevent it from happening again.
- Determine who will be responsible for implementing the corrective action and to whom and when they should report.
- Identifying key success measures will allow you to determine whether or not the corrective actions are effective.
- Monitor the progress of the steps as they are executed. Keep a record of lessons learned so you can refer to them later.
