Why The CAPA-Process Is A Challenge

Here are some of the typical situations you might recognize in your current CAPA-system:

  • You receive the same complaints over and over - AGAIN
  • Your colleagues don't follow the Corrective and Preventive Actions procedure - AGAIN
  • Your colleagues don't complete the whole form, information is missing - AGAIN
  • Your colleagues don't know the difference between Corrective and Preventive Actions - AGAIN
  • You have discussions with management about responsibility and prioritizing actions - AGAIN
  • You are facing hurdles implementing your (updated) Escalation Process
  • You are facing challenges with your CAPA-system every day

    • -> 2.3.10 Establish Corrective Actions, 
    • -> 2.3.12 Establish documentation and record keeping, 
    • -> 5.6 Product testing and environmental monitoring, 
    • -> 5.8 Management of complaints from authorities and customers, 
    • -> 5.11 Management of Deviations, non-conformities, corrections and corrective actions, 
    • -> 5.11.3 Knock Out KO10,
    • -> this training will be beneficial. It provides insights into the necessary actions and Best Practices, enabling you to implement and review the Corrective and Preventive Actions for your organization
