The primary benefit for the creation of corrective action reports is to make certain that causes of nonconforming product are identified and measures are put into place to eliminate these causes. Preventive action reports are used to prevent the occurrence of nonconforming product. Supplier corrective action reports are used to record the actions needed to eliminate nonconforming product that occur because of a supplier. All actions and action reports contribute to an organization's overall continuous quality improvement.

This multi-purpose database allows companies to investigate, document, implement and close corrective action reports (CARs), preventative action reports (PARs) and supplier corrective actions reports (SCARs). Companies can use this database to document how these actions are taken by opening and tracking CARs, PARs and SCARs, as well as measuring the continuous quality improvement made throughout their organization.
