Corrective Action Software for ISO9001 & AS9100 Manufacturers

Implement a consistent, documented, and audit‑ready corrective action process with a system designed specifically for manufacturing environments. Our Corrective Action Software centralizes CAPA management, root cause analysis, task assignments, verification, and effectiveness — ensuring compliance with ISO9001:2015 and AS9100 requirements.

This Corrective Action Software for ISO9001 & AS9100 manufacturers provides a complete, structured workflow for managing internal corrective actions, supplier corrective actions (SCARs), and customer‑requested corrective actions. Built for aerospace, defense, medical device, and precision manufacturing environments, it supports clause 10.2 (Nonconformity & Corrective Action) and integrates seamlessly with your broader QMS.

1. Centralized Corrective Action Management

Manage every corrective action from initiation to closure in one unified system. The software ensures consistency, traceability, and accountability across all CAPA activities.

• Create and track unlimited corrective actions
• Document issues, containment, root cause, actions, verification, and effectiveness
• Assign tasks with deadlines to responsible individuals or groups
• Automated email reminders keep CAPAs on schedule
• Supports both 8D and 5‑Why methodologies

CAPAs can also be linked to Inspection & NCMR records for full nonconformance lifecycle management.

2. Corrective Action Information & Workflow

Capture all required information for internal, supplier, or customer‑requested corrective actions. The workflow ensures every step is documented and audit‑ready.

• Define corrective action type (Internal, SCAR, Customer)
• Record owner, initiator, recipient, issue description, and due dates
• Optional fields for part number, work order, customer, supplier, PO, SO, etc.
• Document containment actions when applicable
• Assign tasks with due dates and responsible parties
• Attach unlimited supporting files
• Single‑click email notifications for CAPAs and tasks

This structured workflow ensures compliance with ISO9001 and AS9100 documentation requirements.

3. Simple Navigation & Fast Access

Designed for speed and clarity, especially in fast‑paced manufacturing environments where CAPA turnaround time is critical.

• Instant summary of all open corrective actions and tasks
• Single‑click access to any open CAPA
• Quick search using multiple field options
• Single‑click email of all open CAPAs and tasks
• Printable report view for meetings and audits

The dashboard integrates with the Contract Review Software and other QMS modules for unified visibility.

4. Setup & Personalization

Configure the system to match your corrective action program and organizational structure. The software adapts to your existing processes rather than forcing you into a rigid template.

• Add company name and logo for branded reports
• Manage staff lists for CAPA participation
• Maintain customer and supplier lists for consistent reporting
• Configure email settings for automated and on‑demand notifications
• Manage form numbers and revisions for printed CAPA reports

5. Automation Features

Reduce administrative workload and keep corrective actions moving. Automation ensures nothing falls through the cracks.

• Automated emails for all open corrective actions and tasks
• Export SCAR information to Excel templates
• Single‑click import of supplier responses (root cause, actions, verification, effectiveness)

Automated reminders help maintain compliance with customer and regulatory deadlines.

6. Reporting & Audit Readiness

Generate powerful, filterable reports for internal and external audits. Reports are designed to satisfy ISO9001 and AS9100 auditors, customer auditors, and internal management reviews.

• Open Corrective Actions
• Corrective Action History

Reports can also be used during Internal Audits and management review meetings.

7. Open‑Source, Fully Customizable, and Built on Microsoft Access

Our Corrective Action Software is delivered as an open‑source Microsoft Access application, giving your organization full control and complete customization capability. You receive the actual Access database file — including all forms, tables, queries, and VBA modules — allowing you to tailor the system to your exact ISO9001 or AS9100 corrective action processes and CAPA workflows.

You can deploy the software using:

• Access back‑end (ACCDB) — ideal for single‑user or light‑use environments
• SQL Server Express back‑end — highly recommended for multi‑user manufacturing environments

This hybrid architecture allows you to start quickly with Access and scale seamlessly to SQL Server Express or full SQL Server as your CAPA program grows.

Because the system is open‑source and built on Microsoft Access, you can:

• Add new data tables and fields
• Customize existing forms and reports
• Create new workflows, logic, and automation
• Integrate with your existing QMS modules
• Maintain full ownership of your data and configuration

This ensures your corrective action program adapts to your unique manufacturing processes, audit requirements, and compliance needs — not the other way around.
