Which document documents root-cause analysis and corrective/preventive actions to close an NCR?

• A. Nonconforming Work Report (NCR).
• B. Daily Field Report (dailies).
• C. Submittal Approval Log.
• D. Corrective Action Report (CAR); it documents root-cause analysis, corrective/preventive actions, and verification.

Answer: (D)

The main concept is that closing an NCR requires documenting the underlying cause and the actions taken to fix the issue and prevent it from happening again, with evidence that those actions worked. The document that captures all of this is the Corrective Action Report. It records the root-cause analysis, the corrective actions to address the current nonconformance, the preventive actions to stop recurrence, and the verification showing the actions were effective. This differs from the NCR itself, which mainly describes the nonconformity, its location, affect on the project, and disposition. The other documents serve different purposes: daily field reports log day-to-day activities, and submittal approval logs track submittal statuses and approvals.
