The Corrective Action Handbook, Second Edition

Description

Many people are confused about corrective action. They know it’s a requirement for compliance to standards such as ISO 9001, but they don’t always realize the benefits of a well-designed and well-implemented corrective action process. This revised edition of The Corrective Action Handbook will help make your corrective action process more organized, more efficient, and more productive.

Denise Robitaille’s book is a terrific guide to corrective action for anyone involved in the corrective action process. The book’s basic precepts hold true for any size organization, and they can be used by quality managers, ISO 9001 management representatives, production supervisors, production group leaders, customer service managers, quality technicians, or anyone else involved in the corrective action process.

Plus, the book includes sample forms that guide you through the corrective action process in a logical and straightforward manner. Forms include:

• Corrective action request form
• Root cause analysis form
• Action plan form
• Follow-up form

The Corrective Action Handbook has been completely revised for this second edition. Updates include newly revised forms, expanded chapters, and a new chapter on when to implement corrective action—and when not to.
