Correction, Corrective Action and Preventive Action
Corection and Corective action -- both are post event actions. But Preventive action may or may not be post event phenomenon.
Correction may be defined as rectification of the results of non-conformity.
Corrective Action may be defined as doing something to eliminate the causes that may lead to another incident due to non-conformity.
Preventive Action may be defined as doing something to eliminate the non-conformities before the undesired event occurs.
