Workers/organizations who identified the problem findings and other personnel affected by the
finding should receive feedback concerning the followup of the problem findings and corrective
actions. This helps motivate workers to continue using the corrective action program process.
The feedback may be direct or though an information management system.
5.3
DEVELOP CORRECTIVE ACTION PLANS
5.3.1
General
A written corrective action plan (CAP) formulating a description of the corrective actions should
be developed to assist in management of the corrective actions. The extent of detail for the CAP
should be determined based on the significance, impact, number, and complexity of the problem
findings and corrective actions to resolve the findings. The CAP should be written by the
site/organization that was assessed or where the event occurred, and should be approved by the
senior manager authorized to provide the resources (funding, personnel and time) needed to
implement the corrective actions successfully within the time specified in the plan.
Based on the extent of detail determined for inclusion in the CAP, the site/organization manager
may consider implementing applicable portions of the general CAP content guidance outlined in
paragraph 5.3.2, CAP content considerations for each finding (paragraph 5.3.3), and CAP
content considerations for each corrective action (paragraph 5.5.4.). The CAP should delineate a
clear understanding and ownership of each reported problem finding, detailed description and
ownership of the corrective actions developed in response to each finding, the process for
tracking and reporting the status of CAP completion, and overview of corrective action
effectiveness review activities to ensure successful resolution and recurrence prevention of each
problem finding.
The site/organization corrective action program process should outline specific timeframes for
the following:
·
Development and approval of each CAP by senior management. Sufficient time should be
allotted from the time the assessment/incident report is transmitted in order for the
appropriate lead manager to evaluate each finding, develop corrective actions for each, and
publish a proposed CAP for approval. For example, the DOE CAMP prescribes a 60-day
suspense from the date of the transmittal forwarding the event/assessment report for the
proposed CAP to be developed and approved by the designated senior manager.
·
Completion of corrective actions in the CAP. Each corrective action listed should include a
planned completion date. That date should include sufficient time to review all evidence for
determining successful completion of the corrective action.
·
Completion of followup corrective action effectiveness reviews to be completed (see
paragraph 7 for explanation of corrective action effectiveness reviews).
