By: Whittington & Associates, LLC Why are organizations having a hard time taking effective corrective action? It may be they don’t understand how to perform root cause analysis. Or, it might be they simply view a request for corrective action as a distraction to be quickly dismissed so they can get back to work. A common mistake is for the auditee is to say the root cause was “human error”. As a result, they attempt to correct the guilty person’s behavior instead of eliminating the real root cause. Unfortunately, auditors often compound the issue by attempting to conduct the follow-up audit too soon. This session reviews the differences between containment, correction, corrective action, and preventive action. Common issues are identified and auditors are told to get tough on corrective actions. They must reject weak responses. If not, they’ll repeatedly report the same or closely related nonconformity. Areas Covered in the Seminar: • Repeated Nonconformities • Cause Really Human Error? • The Auditor Role • Corrective Action • Corrective Action Request • Corrective Action Process • Appropriate Action • Correction vs. Corrective Action • Correction Example • Requirements for Correction • Related Terms • Correction Types • Corrective Action vs. Preventive Action • Audit Example • Problem Solving • Conclusion To enroll, go to: http://www.complianceonline.com/ Instructor Profile: Larry Whittington, is president of Whittington & Associates, training, consulting, and auditing company founded in 1993 and located in Woodstock, Georgia.
