Corrective and preventive action means the aim is to 
prevent occurrence of non-conformities, but when occur, it 
should allow for implementation of corrective measures

corrective Action:- To prevent the reoccurence of defect 

Preventive Action:- To prevent the occurance of defect

Corrective actions are measures taken to eradicate the 
causes of existing nonconformities, while preventive 
actions are measures taken to eradicate the causes of 
potential nonconformities. Corrective actions address 
actual problems, ones that have already occurred, while 
preventive actions address potential problems, ones that 
haven't yet occurred. In general, the corrective action 
process is a problem solving process, while the preventive 
action process is a risk analysis process.
