Capture positive and negative experience from projects, audits, manufacturing, engineering, suppliers, customers and improvement activity. Guide each lesson from event description through cause, containment, corrective and preventive action, knowledge sharing, effectiveness verification and closure. Build a searchable organisational knowledge base, import and export records as CSV, identify trends and recurring causes, and create a professional PDF-ready report.
Record project, product, process, site, customer, supplier, lifecycle stage and where the event was discovered.
Use factual language: what happened, when, where, expected condition, actual condition and objective evidence.
Consider quality, safety, delivery, cost, customer, regulatory, schedule, reputation and knowledge-retention consequences.
Use 5 Whys, fishbone, fault tree, process mapping, evidence review or 8D as appropriate. Separate direct, contributing and systemic causes.
State the specific insight in a form that another team can understand and apply without needing to know the original event.
Record containment, correction, corrective action and preventive or standardisation action, each with owner, due date and evidence.
Identify affected projects, products, suppliers, procedures, training, FMEAs, control plans, audits and risk registers.
Define how recurrence prevention or repeatable success will be demonstrated and when the review will occur.
Approve closure only after evidence confirms implementation and effectiveness. Keep the lesson searchable for future planning and reviews.
