Every month during the meeting they go back with the plan of correction to make sure that they are up to date or if they need to modify it. If there is something that they need to modify, they go over with the team and they create another group to address that issue. When there is a deviation, they look at the [NAME] report that lets them know of any issues in a certain area or let them know that if it goes in a negative way, they look at what they are doing to decide if to change the way that are tracking the QAPI. Once they reach a goal for a certain QAPI they give it about 3 months and will drop it once it reached the goals sets forward. If needed, we will continue for another 3 months. 105120 Page 18 of 18
