korjaustoimenpitein

Korjaustoimenpitein is a Finnish term used in technical, quality, and safety contexts to indicate that an issue has been addressed through corrective actions. It is the instrumental form of korjaustoimenpide (corrective action) and literally translates to “by corrective measures.” The phrase signals that a problem, fault, or nonconformity has been remedied by actions intended to correct the underlying defect rather than merely containing the symptom.

In quality management and regulatory compliance, korjaustoimenpitein is part of the corrective and preventive action (CAPA) process. It involves identifying the root cause of a problem, implementing corrective measures, verifying their effectiveness, and documenting the results. The term is often encountered in audits, incident reports, maintenance records, and safety assessments.

Typical process steps associated with korjaustoimenpitein include problem detection, root cause analysis, proposal and implementation of actions, effectiveness verification, and documentation for traceability. It is often contrasted with preventive measures (ennaltaehkäisevät toimenpiteet), which aim to prevent recurrence before issues arise, whereas korjaustoimenpitein address already occurred problems.

Examples of usage include reporting that a malfunction was resolved korjaustoimenpitein, or that production downtime was reduced after korjaustoimenpitein introduced fixes. Etymologically, the term derives from korjaus (repair) and toimenpiteet (measures), reflecting its focus on corrective remedies rather than preventive or exploratory actions.
