CAPA is an excellent Quality Management tool to continuously improve processes and avoid future failures. All personnel involved in the management of deviations and in CAPAs should aim to identify opportunities for further improvement.To understand how to achieve quality in a regulated industry, you need to know that corrective and preventative actions (CAPA) are essential elements of quality management in GxP environments. The CAPA process is a commonly used tool to achieve operational excellence by identifying and mitigating non-conformances and deviations, both internally and externally.
The process consists of two key elements: corrective actions and preventative actions. Corrective actions give you the structure in finding root causes of problems and solving those problems. However, preventative actions, like documenting the conditions and solutions for the future, implementing measures for these problems and proofing the effectiveness have a direct impact on the risk profile of a company.
For companies in the life sciences industry a comprehensive quality system which is monitored carefully is critical to stay in business.
The requirements for a risk-based CAPA demand beside a well-documented system which keeps root causes of non-conformances, system failures or process problems on record, include a solid process that corrects the problems, and also prevents them from recurring.
The documentation must identify why something went wrong, or why it may go wrong, and what has been done to ensure that it will not happen again.
CAPA systems can be seen as evidence for problems and of the company's capability to resolve problems in general. In that way these systems are a preferred target and typically scrutinized at audits or regulatory inspections.
The increasing complexity and continuous changes in the regulatory environment push organizations to seek a more holistic and highly integrated approach to their audit management processes. Auditing is a vital function within a pharmaceutical company.
