ISO 9001 / AS9100 Workflow Control

Corrective Action Control for ISO 9001 & AS9100 Manufacturers

Manage corrective actions from issue intake through ownership, containment, root cause, corrective action, verification, closure, evidence, and reporting.

Built for manufacturers that need clearer ownership, faster follow-up, and audit-ready corrective action records.

Corrective Actions Break Down When Ownership Lives in Spreadsheets

01

Owners Are Unclear

Corrective actions stall when accountability lives across emails, spreadsheets, and verbal follow-up.

02

Due Dates Drift

Teams lose timing discipline when open items are tracked manually instead of inside one visible workflow.

03

Evidence Gets Scattered

Containment notes, attachments, and verification records end up split across folders and inboxes.

04

Follow-Up Depends on Memory

Progress becomes reactive when owners need reminders instead of a system that keeps the work visible.

05

Closure Status Is Hard to Prove

Auditors and leaders need a cleaner way to see what is open, verified, overdue, and closed with evidence.

From Issue Intake to Verified Closure

Step 01

Open the CAR

Capture the issue quickly so the record starts with a clear problem statement.

Step 02

Assign Ownership

Set responsibility early so the work does not drift between departments.

Step 03

Capture Containment and Root Cause

Record the immediate response and the cause analysis in the same workflow.

Step 04

Document Corrective Action

Keep the planned response connected to the original issue and due date.

Step 05

Verify Effectiveness

Show that the action was reviewed before the record moves toward closure.

Step 06

Close With Evidence

Finish with the notes, attachments, and status history needed for audit support.

Everything Needed to Keep CARs Moving

01

CAR Ownership and Assignment

Clear responsibility for who owns the corrective action.

02

Due Date Visibility

See what is open, overdue, pending review, or ready to close.

03

Containment and Root Cause Tracking

Capture the early response before the corrective action is finalized.

04

Corrective Action Response

Keep the planned action connected to the original issue.

05

Verification and Closure

Confirm the action was reviewed before the CAR is closed.

06

Evidence and Audit Trail

Keep attachments, notes, links, and status history tied to the record.

Connected to the Same AuditReady Workflow System

Corrective Action Control extends the same operating model as AuditReady Training & Competence: clear ownership, connected evidence, due dates, status visibility, and audit-ready records.

The workflow was shaped by a real ISO 9001 / AS9100 operating environment, with attention to the follow-up pressure quality teams face when corrective actions are managed manually.
