On the other hand corrective action is to analyze the cause of the incident or the accident or anything not conforming to the standard. So the cause of this nonconformance is the be identified and then finally eleminated to avoid future repitition, this action is corrective action. Preventive action means taking action pro-activily before the cause of norconformance may appear, it is to avoid any nonconformance which might happen in future if no action is taken presently.

If the problem has not occurred as a result of the above, then it is a preventive action. In the example you site, if the company has a policy on keeping a central repository then it is a nonconformance. The lack of a central repository fails to conform to company policy XXXX. This would be a corrective action to bring the situation into conformance. If you do not have a policy but think that a central repository is a good idea to prevent... then it would be a preventive action to prevent the occurance of... Note that ISO does not require a central repository so it is not an audit finding under ISO unless your document control procedure requires a central repository. ISO requires document control but it is up to you to define the control mechanisms.
