    Sorry, Andy, I don't understand. How can what I wrote be interpreted to say that corrections are improvement?

    [QUOTE=" including revision of standards and CAPA. Even folks' time spent to investigate NCs or plan improvement actions is quickly recouped from the time savings achieved by avoiding recurrence of those NCs.

    This is what caught my eye...

    Some of the registrars will be offering informational sessions for managers and internal users. The content and time differs somewhat. That is a chance to get it explained by someone outside the company.

    No mention of corrections there, only corrective action. Are you saying corrective actions aren't improvement?

    Yes! Emphatically! If you needed to take action to correct something that's simply going back to the way it should have been all along - not an improvement. Once the process (or whatever) is returned to where it was planned to be, then you can improve!

    I said it was a philosophical debate...

    Improvement is an "activity to enhance performance". A correction is obviously not that, but a corrective action clearly is. I never liked philosophy. :)
