In today’s highly regulated research and production environment, it has become a mainstay to have a thorough and structured investigation process to identify the cause of a quality failure or nonconformity as well as avoid repetition. This is where a Corrective and Preventive Actions (CAPA) manager becomes essential. But what is CAPA management? What are the benefits of the QLIMS CAPA Module? What are the steps of the CAPA process?
What is CAPA?
CAPA (Corrective and Preventive Action) is a module used in quality management to identify and correct problems in a company’s processes, products, or services. The goal of CAPA is to prevent similar issues from occurring in the future. Effective implementation of CAPA helps organizations maintain high standards of quality and customer satisfaction, thus enhancing their reputation and competitiveness in the market.
Many people see CAPAs as a challenging task that must be completed just to stay compliant, but the CAPA manager should be viewed as an end-to-end system that provides the necessary tools to identify, evaluate and investigate incidents. In addition to them, CAPA is essential for implementing and checking the effectiveness of a resolution regarding quality control and regulation.
