CAR Response

Use the Tab Key to Move from Field to Field

Complete this form to respond to a corrective action request (CAR) that is initiated once a non-conformance is identified. A given CAR can be responded to multiple times using this form if desired (example: one time to establish target dates and another time to report the RC, CA, and PA). Our timeline goals for addressing CARs are:

  1. Report the root cause (RC), CA, and PA within 7 calendar days.
  2. Implement the CA and, if appropriate, the PA within 14 calendar days.

The above timelines goals are realistic for 90% or more of all CARs. If your specific CAR requires additional time, state so via the target dates you set for the CA and PA.

CARs that exceed their reported target dates will get one 2 working day reminder along with a copy of the CAR. Follow ups after that point will be addressed by the Operations mentor.

All time goals above are based on the issue date of the non-conformance report.

To get a refresher on how to address non-conformances via root cause analysis, please contact anyone in QA or view these Web pages:
