Developing an Effective CAPA Management and Root Cause Analysis System

Recorded Session
60 Minutes

Every organization needs to investigate problems well, find root causes and put workable corrective action in place on time. This 60-minute CAPA and root cause analysis training shows how to build a system that does that.

An effective CAPA process depends on trained internal investigators who think critically and can coach others, and on a common model and language so investigators learn the process quickly. You'll cover what a CAPA is, when one is required, and the root cause analysis methods available and their benefits.

The session then covers building a CAPA plan, effectiveness checks, documentation, tracking progress and proper closure, including keeping longer-term CAPA projects on track.

WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?

A weak CAPA system lets problems recur and leaves gaps in documentation. This webinar covers proper CAPA system maintenance, root cause analysis, CAPA documentation and building a robust CAPA plan, with tips for keeping long-term CAPAs on schedule.

It suits quality control, quality assurance, manufacturing, regulatory affairs and supplier quality staff and managers, and senior management.
