Q1.A team logs the following actions after a defect is found.

$\begin{array}{l|l} \textbf{Action} & \textbf{Description} \\ \hline \text{1} & \text{Suspect stock is quarantined the same day} \\ \text{2} & \text{The worn cam follower is confirmed as the cause} \\ \text{3} & \text{The cam follower is added to the maintenance schedule} \\ \text{4} & \text{Three months of later data show no recurrence} \end{array}$

Which action is the permanent corrective action?
- A.Action 3✓ Correct answer
- B.Action 1
- C.Action 2
- D.Action 4
Explanation
The permanent corrective action is the change that stops the cause from producing the problem again, and adding the cam follower to the maintenance schedule is that change. Action 1 is containment, which protects the customer but changes nothing about the process. Action 2 is the root cause determination, which identifies what to fix but does not fix it. Action 4 is validation, the evidence that the fix worked. Students often pick action 2 because it feels like the hard part of the work, but naming a cause and removing it are different steps.
