Corrective action is realizing and defining problems, determining their causes, and taking appropriate measures to prevent their recurrence. We apply "corrective action thinking" in our everyday lives but do not formally consider it in that way. A good example is when we find roadworks on a daily commute, after experiencing the frustration of the first journey, we find an alternative route.
What we have done is identified a problem and found a solution that meets our needs. The difference in an organization is that the problem does not just affect one individual. The consequences of not addressing the issue may be much more significant and more costly to the organization, hence having a formal process.
