FACILEX® ATOMIC

Corrective Action Program Software for Nuclear Quality Assurance

Identify, evaluate and resolve conditions adverse to quality through a governed process that connects significance, cause determination, corrective action and effectiveness review.

Supports structured Corrective Action Programs aligned with nuclear quality assurance, problem identification and resolution, and continuous improvement requirements.

Finding the problem is only the beginning.

Nuclear organizations generate conditions, observations, deficiencies and improvement opportunities from operations, maintenance, engineering, audits, assessments and operating experience.

The challenge is determining which conditions are significant, what level of evaluation is required, why the condition occurred, and what corrective actions are proportionate to its safety, quality and regulatory significance.

Closing an action is not the same as correcting the problem. The program must preserve the basis for decisions and demonstrate that corrective actions were completed and, where required, were effective in preventing recurrence.

?
Corrective Action must answer:
  • What condition or deficiency has been identified?
  • Is it a condition adverse to quality?
  • What is its safety, quality and regulatory significance?
  • What level of cause evaluation is required?
  • What actions are necessary to correct the condition?
  • How will we demonstrate that the corrective action was effective?
!

Capture conditions where they occur

Create a consistent entry point for deficiencies, observations, concerns and improvement opportunities.

◆

Significance drives the process

Apply screening and classification criteria so the level of evaluation and oversight matches the condition.

?

Cause before correction

Route significant conditions through appropriate apparent, root or other cause evaluation before corrective action.

✓

Corrective actions remain accountable

Assign ownership, due dates, approvals and escalation while maintaining traceability to the originating condition.

↻

Recurrence becomes visible

Preserve structured condition and cause information to support trending and identification of repeat or systemic problems.

◎

Effectiveness becomes evidence

Verify that significant corrective actions achieved their intended result before final program closure.

A configurable lifecycle maintains traceability from initial condition identification through significance determination, cause evaluation, corrective action and verified closure.

1
Identification
Document the condition, concern, deficiency or improvement opportunity.
2
Screening
Determine applicability and immediate response requirements.
3
Significance
Classify the condition according to safety, quality and regulatory significance.
4
Evaluation
Perform the required extent-of-condition and cause evaluation.
5
Corrective Action
Define actions that address the condition and identified causes.
6
Implementation
Complete assigned actions with documented evidence and accountability.
7
Effectiveness
Verify that required corrective actions achieved their intended result.
8
Closure
Confirm requirements are satisfied and preserve the complete record.
▤

Configurable Condition Types

Configure categories, sources, classifications and required information to reflect your CAP structure.

◆

Significance-Based Routing

Route conditions through different evaluation, approval and oversight paths according to significance.

?

Cause Evaluation Methods

Support configurable apparent-cause, root-cause and other evaluation methods appropriate to the condition.

↔

Extent of Condition & Cause

Document whether similar conditions or causal factors may exist elsewhere in the organization.

✓

Action Ownership & Escalation

Assign corrective actions, manage due dates and approvals, and escalate overdue or significant work.

◎

Effectiveness Reviews

Define effectiveness criteria, review dates and evidence requirements before final closure.

Connect corrective action to the requirements that govern it.

Corrective Action does not operate in isolation.

FACILEX® ATOMIC preserves the relationship between identified conditions and the audits, events, actions and operating experience that reveal or help resolve them.

✓
Audits & Assessments Findings and observations can initiate corrective action.
!
Event Reporting Events can identify conditions requiring evaluation and correction.
→
Action Item Management Resulting actions remain assigned, tracked and accountable.
↻
Operating Experience Internal and external experience supports recurrence prevention.

One application. Part of one connected management system.

FACILEX® Corrective Action Program is one of 21 configurable applications within FACILEX® ATOMIC. Conditions can originate from audits, events and operating experience; create accountable actions; reveal recurring trends; and become part of the evidence supporting quality assurance and regulatory oversight.

Bring us your current process.

We can map your existing Corrective Action Program, significance criteria, cause evaluation methods, action controls and effectiveness reviews to a configured FACILEX® ATOMIC process.
