Corrective action
An intentional activity that realigns the performance
of the project work with the project management
plan; You are building a vacation log cabin for Mr.
and Mrs. Johnson. You had originally planned to use
a small backhoe for the excavation. Once excavation
begins, you realize that the small backhoe is not
sufficient and you are now behind schedule. Bringing
in a larger backhoe would be a corrective action.
Preventive action
An intentional activity that ensures the future
performance of the project work is aligned with
the project management plan; and/or. As you
evaluate the costs to trim out the inside of the
house, you determine that based on the cost
trending, you could go over budget. As such, you
substitute lower cost interior doors to prevent
exceeding the budget. This is a preventive action.
Defect repair

nonconforming product or product component.
Defect repairs are implemented when the product

plumber to fix the plumbing. This is a defect
repair.
