The problem it solves

Most shops can say how many corrective actions they have open. Few can say how old they are, which are stuck and where, or how many of last quarter's closures were ever shown to work. The log exists, but nobody counts it until an auditor or a customer asks, and by then the oldest actions are a year old. This workbook turns a one-line-per-action CAPA log into a dashboard of plain counts: open by age band, overdue against the due date, open by stage and by owner, closed versus shown effective, and a twelve-month trend of opened against closed.

Who uses it, and when

Quality directors and managers who run the corrective action program, and the plant leaders who review it. Update the log as actions move, look at the Dashboard before every CAPA review, and take the Dashboard and Monthly trend to management review.
