Correcting...

If there's something wrong, what should we do? From ISO9001:2008 point of view, you need to correct the situation. First, you need corrections. Corrections are immediate actions. Some say it containment actions.
Say you have toothache. Your correction will be to extract the tooth (could be painful).

After you have taken the immediate action, so what's next? Don't you think you need to avoid the same thing from happening in future? Therefore, you need to take corrective action. An action which is taken in order to prevent recurrence. Having extracted the tooth earlier, what kind of action you need to take to prevent the next tooth or teethache. You extract all your teeth. No, that's too extreme. Probably a checkup to make sure no more cavity or hole in any teeth. If yes, maybe a filling will do. (Note: This is of course assuming the root cause is due to tooth cavity)

OK, you have ensure all of your teeth are in good condition. What's next? Don't you think you need to take precaution? Therefore, you need to take preventive action. An action taken to eliminate the causes of potential nonconformities in order to prevent their occurrence. In other word, take action to keep your teeth healthy and avoid your teeth from developing any cavity. You can brush your teeth regularly, reduce eating sweet or chocolate or anything which can prevent teeth cavity.

So in any wrong doing or nonconformity, take correction, corrective action and preventive action. You are then on path for ISO certification.

Last day in Sendai

After spending five days in Sendai, my visit here has finally come to an end. On my last day, I took a tour of the Kirin Beer Factory. I must say that the tour was quite informative—slightly better than the one I had at a beer factory in Malaysia. Visitors were able to touch, smell, and taste during the tour. We were served at least three different types of Kirin beer for tasting. Although the tour was short, it was uplifting. I had lunch at their restaurant, which was probably my most expensive meal during this trip to Sendai. In the afternoon, I took an Uber to Arahama Elementary School, which has now been turned into a museum. It is located on the eastern side of Sendai, an area that was hit by the tsunami following the earthquake on March 11, 2011. On that day, after the quake, the schoolchildren were evacuated to the rooftop of the building. About 27 hours later, they were all rescued. The school now exhibits the impact of the tsunami, the conditions on that day, and the aftermath...

Kumano Kodo - Day 2

After a good rest, I departed for Hosshimon-oji. The hotel provided free transit to the Hongu area, so I saved some time waiting for the bus. The plan for the day was a 7 km walk from Hosshimon-oji to Oyunohara. Since my next lodging was in the Yunomine Onsen area, I decided to add an extra walk from Oyunohara to Yunomine Onsen, which was about 2.2 km. At Hosshimon-oji, the trail is essentially a connecting route to the Takijiri trail. The previous stamping station was about 800 meters from Hosshimon-oji, so I made a detour to Inohana-oji. That detour added approximately 1.6 km to my journey, taking about 30 minutes or more. From Hosshimon-oji (after detouring via Inohana-oji), I started walking toward Hongu Taisha, which was about a 2.5-hour walk. Along the way, I stopped to rest and take photos. It was quite a leisurely walk. Part of the trail is paved, while the rest consists of forest paths lined with cypress trees (I guess). By the time I reached the town around Hongu Taisha, it w...
