Acting on OFIs

Answer:

An opportunity for improvement (OFI) is not a nonconformance. And since an OFI is not a nonconformance there is no need for any correction and corrective action. Your organization should look for each OFI and decide if the improvement is worth doing. If the organization decides to act showing the evidence is enough.
