Abstract

Corrective and preventive actions (CPAs) are one of the fields in quality management that every organization needs to give full attention to in order to ensure the organization can provide high-quality services or products. The enforcement of CPA in an organization involves many stakeholders. Therefore, one systematic system that could be used to manage the CPA should be developed. An agile method is one of the methods in information system development that has the capability to speed up the completion of a project. This capability is the main reason why it can maintain the quality of output, and it has become one of the famous approaches in developing the information system. Because of this reason, we have used the Extreme Programming (XP) approach; one of the agile methods used to develop the CPA management system. The XP approach gives many benefits to us, especially with the involvement of clients throughout the development phase. Quick necessary actions can be taken after getting feedbacks from clients. In order to carry this out, good communication between clients and developers must exist. We combined the traditional communication method with communication technologies such as emails and chat rooms. This approach eventually provides many benefits to us in delivering the services successfully.
