corrective action plan

How to Develop a Corrective Action Plan?

Developing a CAP involves several key steps:
Identify the Problem: Clearly define the issue, including when and where it occurred.
Analyze the Root Cause: Use tools like Root Cause Analysis (RCA) to determine the underlying causes.
Develop Action Steps: Create specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART) actions to address the root causes.
Assign Responsibilities: Designate team members responsible for implementing each action step.
Set Deadlines: Establish realistic timelines for the completion of each action.
Monitor Progress: Regularly review the progress of the CAP to ensure that actions are being executed as planned.
Evaluate Effectiveness: Assess the results to ensure that the problem has been resolved and that the corrective actions are effective.
Document and Communicate: Keep detailed records of the CAP and communicate the outcomes to all relevant stakeholders.
