Preventive Action Methods
Preventive Actions can not be determined until the direct, contributing, and root causes have been identified. When devising a solution, remember that there is no single right answer. The solution should be chosen on its effectiveness, feasibility, suitability to the company, and the company's budget. Solutions should not be rushed into. Rushing can cause additional problems. It is best to think about alternatives before choosing a solution. It is also important to correct the process from a long term perspective instead of focusing on the short term. If the solution is only focused on the short term, there is no point in performing a corrective action.
Determining if the Preventive Action worked to correct the causes is Solution Effectiveness.
