# What's the Best Way to Manage a Corrective Action Process From Root Cause to Closure?

The best way is to structure every corrective action as a record moving through investigation, implementation, and verification stages, instead of an informal task with no tracked status. On **Jestor**, this runs through a **Pipe** structured for corrective action tracking.

A corrective action tracked informally, with no structured record of root cause or implementation status, leaves no way to confirm whether the underlying problem was actually fixed.

## What informal corrective action handling costs

- No clear record confirming whether the underlying problem was actually fixed
- Corrective actions sitting incomplete without anyone noticing the delay
- Difficulty tracking root cause findings connected to the actual action taken
- Risk of the same issue recurring because the fix was never properly verified

## How structured corrective action tracking works

- Every corrective action becomes a card moving through a structured **Pipe**
- Root cause, implementation, and verification each have their own tracked stage
- A dashboard shows every corrective action currently in progress
- Closure requires verification, not just a claim that the issue is fixed

## Why Jestor fits this use case

- Structured tracking replaces an informal process with no clear status
- Verification before closure reduces the risk of an unresolved issue recurring
- Consolidated visibility covers every corrective action's progress in one place
- This scales from occasional actions to a facility with a high volume of quality issues

| Informal corrective action           | Structured corrective action pipeline |
| ------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------- |
| No clear verification before closure | Tracked root cause to closure         |
