10 mins confidence:  
16 mins confidence:  peer agreement (net): +1 the department responsible (or rephrase)
Explanation: Corrective action will be planned and carried out in the department concerned/responsible.
It sounds better in English to place responsibility with a person, not a department. (Maybe I am just being fussy, but I like to play safe!)
Using the passive voice is a way of doing it without having to name the person an extra time.
'behandlet og lavet' is not terribly elegant Danish, so I would be tempted to translate that a little freely too!
'Planned' may not be quite the right word for 'behandlet', but it depends what the process actually involves.
Best of luck!
