Overview of the webinar
If you’ve ever issued a CAR (corrective action request) you know what it’s like. You sort of silently hope (pray?) that the individual to whom you sent it will give it the respect it deserves.Why wouldn’t they, given that it is an indication that there are deficiencies in organizational processes that will negatively impact customers, cost, throughput, employee satisfaction, etc.
Of course we all know that in many organizations this is wishful thinking. CARS are often treated as a hot potato, with people either touching it briefly (which means a shallow and/or meaningless response), or worse yet, they evidently don’t touch it at all since there is no response.
So how should one respond when there are significant delays in responding? Well that depends on how often it happens, whether it is individual-specific, or whether it’s systemic.This webinar will identify solutions to six potential systemic reasons as well as eight different responses for when it’s an individual issue. It will also discuss some of the issues these responses might raise and how to deal with them.
Who should attend?
- Corrective Action Coordinators
- Quality Managers
- Safety Managers
- Environmental System Managers
- Audit Program Managers
- Nonconformity Reporting Managers
Why should you attend?
The corrective action process is one of the more important components of a management system, whether it’s for quality, safety, environmental management, IT service management, etc. While well defined processes are the obvious expectation, unpredicted or inadequately controlled variances unfortunately create failures that are often detected too late to prevent their impact on customers, products, equipment and/or people.
But a good corrective action process will effectively identify the underlying organizational weaknesses and put solutions in place to prevent recurrence. But a good corrective action process requires timely and meaningful root cause analysis and solution implementation, which often fails to occur.
This webinar is about the delays that often occur and how the organization (initiated by the coordinator of the corrective action process) can respond.It looks at the problem from a cause-solution perspective and considers whether it’s an outlier or a systemic issue in deciding the response.
