Small Shop Quality

Corrective Action Tracker

Close the problem. Keep the proof. Move on.

Most shops fix the problem. Fewer can prove what they did.

A simple workflow for small shops without a dedicated quality person — log a customer complaint or production problem, track what was done, and keep the proof in one place.

Built by a manufacturing quality professional with 20+ years of experience.

The trouble usually starts after the fix.

When corrective actions live in emails, notes, memory, or scattered spreadsheets, that is where follow-up starts to break down.

* You know the issue was handled, but the proof is hard to find.
* Follow-up actions get lost when people get busy.
* A customer asks what was done, and the response has to be recreated from scratch.
