What is Corrective Action?
Corrective Action
Eliminating the cause to prevent the same thing from happening again.
What it means
When a problem arises, we don't just fix what's in front of us; we find out why it occurred and eliminate the cause. This is recurrence prevention.
It is difficult to say “I will be careful” as a measure. Choose a method that can be followed even if someone forgets, such as changing a setting, blocking the screen, or putting it in a checklist. Write down what happened, why, to what extent, and how you fixed it.

All seven events in the game end with recurrence prevention. Production output button locking, incoming inspection, reasons for miscellaneous receipts and issues are required, and shipping conditions are so created.
Why it matters
If the cause is not eliminated, the same accident will happen again on a different day and in a different person.
