Corrective actions are steps taken to address and resolve issues or problems that have been identified within a process, system, or organization. These actions aim to eliminate the root causes of non-conformities or deficiencies to prevent their recurrence. They are often part of quality management systems and are essential for continuous improvement. In many industries, corrective actions are documented and tracked to ensure accountability and effectiveness. This process may involve analyzing data, implementing changes, and monitoring results. By focusing on root causes, organizations can enhance their performance and maintain compliance with standards such as ISO 9001.
