When things go off track in terms of quality control or safety, you need a reliable corrective action process to fix issues quickly.

Whether you’re addressing a product defect, a safety issue, or a compliance gap, the corrective action forms below will make documentation much easier for you and reduce repeat incidents.

How to create a corrective action form in Lumiform

Creating a corrective action form in Lumiform is simple and efficient. You can select an existing template, then use the drag-and-drop form builder to personalize them. Feel free to use multiple response types like text fields, photo uploads, and signature captures to gather comprehensive data on each issue.

For smooth implementation, leverage role assignments to notify the right team members automatically when action is required. You can even set clear follow-up tasks within the app, deadlines included. This way, you can keep everyone accountable and ensure issues are addressed promptly.

Once the form has been filled out Lumiform’s data analysis capabilities help you evaluate trends and pinpoint recurring issues, allowing you to make data-driven improvements and download instant reports.


Frequently asked questions

What should be included in a corrective action form to make it effective?

An effective corrective action form should include a detailed issue description, the root cause analysis, a specific action plan with assigned responsibilities, and a verification section. You can include photo uploads and signatures too for visual proof and accountability.

How can I track the progress of a corrective action plan?

Tracking progress is easier with Lumiform, as it allows you to assign tasks, set deadlines, and receive automated notifications when actions are overdue. You can also add photos and documents for evidence, and analyze trends using data insights, which helps adjust strategies for future improvements.

What’s the difference between a corrective action and a preventive action?

Corrective actions are reactive–they fix problems after they occur and aim to prevent recurrence. On the other hand, preventive actions are proactive, with the goal of stopping issues before they start. For example, a corrective action might fix a machine breakdown, while a preventive action would involve regular maintenance to avoid breakdowns.
