Organizations experience incidents of every sort, some with almost imperceptible impacts and others inflicting catastrophic consequences. While impractical to mitigate all adverse events, it is imperative to prevent recurrence of the most significant incidents, important to limit the frequency and impact of moderate happenings, and necessary to only correct low impact deficiencies. Such a grade approach to corrective action implementation optimally applies the organization’s resources based on the value of event recurrence mitigation.

Improvement opportunities abound; ranging from everyday failures and performance enhancements to strategic acquisitions and marketplace openings. While these opportunities may represent some value to the organization, each requires different resources in varying quantities and offers a unique and unequal return on investment. Consequently, it is important to evaluate the urgency and need of these items collectively when determining which improvements to pursue. Employing a single repository within which all of the organization’s opportunities are collected facilitates these ongoing evaluations.

Central to the proper functioning of a corrective action program is the appropriate prioritization of reported issues. Assigned significance levels reveal the impact of the occurrence and drive the urgency of resolution, including the type of causal analysis to be performed. Furthermore, significance levels support problem reporting, performance trending, and common/recurring issue identification.
Reports reveal painful truth despite ‘incontrovertible proof’ that women are key to business, economic & societal growth It’s a painful revelation. “At the current rate of change, it will take until the year 2085 for women to reach parity with men in leadership roles in our country.” This staggering estimate, reported by the Center for […]
