A plan status can have following: ‘In planning’, ‘Being implemented’ or ‘completed’, depending on the role assigned to user handling of non-conformity is characterized. Following are the list of roles Planner (Project manager), Actioner and Stakeholder

1. Planner: As the Planner (Project manager) assigned to that non-conformance the QA manager has effectively handed over control. Planner are now responsible for planning a successful delivery of those requirements and build a set of ‘global actions’ to eliminate the problem.
2. Actioner: He is responsible for taking ownership of and delivering a line (a task or action) in the Action plan by the specified date. As soon as the Action plan is at status ‘Being implemented’ you can start processing the tasks (actions) to which he have been assigned.
3. Stakeholder: As a stakeholder at any time can access an action plan. An action plan shows you how the objectives for the design or production ‘change’ will be met. You can use it as a mechanism for referencing and managing business risk, and potentially costs.
