Permanent Corrective Actions

This is the problem statement or customer

complaint. It needs to have a object and
defect.
Use this path for the specific
nonconformance being
investigated:
- How was the defect
produced?
- How did the problem occur?

Therefore

Therefore

Why

Use this path to investigate

why the problem was not
detected:
- How did the controls fail?
- How did the problem
escape?

You may find that you do not need to fill

in all six boxes down a leg. You may get
to the root cause in three boxes, you
may need to add boxes to this form. The
important thing to remember is to drill
down to the root cause.

Use this path to investigate
the systemic root cause:
- Why did the possibility exist
for this situation to occur?

The most important

thing to remember is
each box must
answer "why?" to
the previous box.

To test your 3L5W, read it

backwards, from the bottom up
using "therefore" between each
box instead of "why". If its
written correctily it will makes
sense.

Timing

List the
corrective actions
that will be or
have been made
to correct this
issue and prevent
it from occurring
again.
You should have
at least 1
corrective action
for each of the
three legs. Make
sure you have
timing.
Please keep the file that you
upload into the eCIMS system
an Excel file type. This
enables me to better
communicate back to you
issues/concerns/questions that
I have about your 3L5W.
