Supplier Corrective Action Reports will be tracked by the returned date. Your timely responses to Supplier Corrective Actions will assist Northeast in working better with you as a supplier and to resolve potential issues in the future.
The purpose of the Supplier Corrective Action Report program is to identify, and investigate issues of the cause and apply the appropriate fix so that the issue(s) will not reoccur or at least the risk of recurrence minimized.

- Untrained Operator
- Misread print
