Quality Assurance Improvement with Metrics
Published in Boyd L. Summers, Effective Processes for Quality Assurance, 2019
Corrective actions with metrics normally take some time using problem-solving method steps. Complete the corrective actions in a reasonable amount of time to satisfy your customer and keep the customer from walking away. Management, team members, and Quality Assurance representatives must verify the corrective actions by measuring with metrics and monitoring the results after implementing the corrective actions. Make sure problems cannot be recreated, and Verification and validation include reviewing documentation that supports the process changes from the corrective action. Complete the verification and validation to implement the corrective action. Identify the root cause and always take the appropriate corrective action to fix it. It is important to list all possible corrective actions and using metrics, as these will depend on all situations.

The steps in the corrective action process are: assigning responsibility and authority; identifying nonconformances; segregating nonconforming materials; evaluating the impacts of the nonconformances on quality and safety; investigating to determine the root cause; instituting corrective and/or preventive action; instituting process controls to ensure correction; and documenting the whole process including changes to procedures and methods.24 In addition the corrective and preventive action process should be reviewed to determine if it is indeed effective in correcting and preventing problems. There should be procedures for documenting the corrective and preventive action process and tracking the results of actions to verify effectiveness. All relevant information on actions taken should be submitted for management review.
Measurement, analysis, and improvement

Before we start, let us understand the difference between correction and corrective action: Correction—A correction is an initiated action that is necessary to eliminate a detected nonconformity. A correction may be planned and integrated with the corrective action.Corrective action—A corrective action is an initiated action that is necessary to eliminate the cause of a detected nonconformity or other undesirable situation. The corrective action may include a correction.Nonconformity (as a reminder)—Nonconformity is a situation where a requirement or specification is not fulfilled and requires either a correction or a corrective action
A review of methods, techniques and tools for project planning and control

Also, a research area that has not received much attention is the development, implementation and analysis of corrective action procedures. In this regard, Olawale and Sun (2013) highlighted that actions should be proactive, which means that information generated during project execution should help to highlight potential problems and plan actions in advance instead of reacting when problems occur or after they have occurred. A systematic approach is also needed when making corrective action decisions. Some actions may create risks and problems in the future. Others may cause delays to the project, incur cost increases, or raise quality issues. Increased incorporation of uncertainty for corrective action decision-making is thus proposed as a recommendation for the future. Hence, innovations and extensions to more sophisticated methods, techniques, and tools are expected in the field of project planning and control for many years to come.

Quality testing is the next significant step in the quality control system, this process involves testing the quality of the recycled and remanufactured products. This process should include both in-process testing and final product testing to ensure that the products meet the required specifications. There are several step-by-step procedures for checking the quality of recycled and remanufactured products from end-of-life vehicle recycling, which include visual inspection, to conduct a visual inspection of the product to ensure that it is free of any defects, damage, and contamination, dimensional inspection, to check the dimensions of the product to ensure that it meets the required specifications, material testing, to conduct material testing to verify the quality of the materials used in the product, performance testing, to conduct performance testing to ensure that the product meets the required performance specifications, this includes testing the product in a real-world environment, durability testing, to perform to ensure that the product can withstand the expected lifespan under normal usage conditions, this includes testing the product’s resistance to wear and tear, corrosion, or other factors that may affect its lifespan, certification and standards compliance, to check that the product has the required certifications and meets the relevant industry standards for quality and safety, this can include certifications such as ISO 9001 or 14,001, as well as compliance with safety and environmental regulations, finally, traceability, to ensure that the product can be traced back to its source and that all necessary documentation is available to verify its quality and safety. Corrective action is the next crucial step after quality testing, which involves in development of the process for identifying and correcting any issues or defects that are identified during the quality control process. This process includes documenting the issues, investigating the root cause, and implementing corrective actions to prevent reoccurrence. Documentation and records is a crucial step in this framework, which engages in documenting and maintaining records of all quality control activities. This includes documentation of incoming material inspections, sorting and separation activities, processing and remanufacturing activities, quality testing results, and corrective actions taken. Training and Competence, this step engages in training and developing the competence of all personnel involved in the quality control process. This includes providing training on quality control procedures, testing methods, and corrective action processes. The final step of this framework is management review, this step involves Regularly reviewing the quality control system to ensure its effectiveness and identify opportunities for improvement. This review includes an analysis of quality control data, customer feedback, and other relevant information. By implementing a quality control system based on these key steps, manufacturers can ensure that their recycled and remanufactured products from ELV recycling meet the required quality standards, are safe for use, and contribute to a more sustainable and environmentally friendly future.
