Our Approach to Conduct Effective CAPA:

Identify and Document the Issue:

Clearly define the non-conformance that requires corrective or preventive action. Document all relevant details, including the nature of the issue, where it occurred, and any contributing factors.

Assemble a Cross-Functional Team:

Form a team with members from areas relevant to the issue. This ensures diverse perspectives and expertise, fostering a comprehensive understanding of the problem.

Root Cause Analysis:

Conduct a thorough root cause analysis and identify the potential causes to identify the underlying factors contributing to the issue.

Implementation of Corrective and Preventive Actions:

Execute the corrective  and preventive actions systematically. Communicate changes to relevant stakeholders, update documentation, and ensure everyone involved knows.

Verification of Effectiveness:

Verify the effectiveness of the corrective and preventive actions by monitoring and measuring the outcomes. Assess whether the implemented changes have resolved the issue and prevented its recurrence.
