Corrective and Preventive Actions (CAPA)

« Back to Glossary Index

Corrective and Preventive Actions (CAPA) are pivotal processes within pharmaceutical manufacturing quality management, aimed at identifying, correcting, and preventing the recurrence of nonconformities, deviations, or deficiencies in products, processes, or systems. Incorporating thorough root cause analysis, CAPA ensures the implementation of immediate corrective measures for current issues and preventive strategies to avoid future incidents. This approach underscores the commitment to continuous improvement and risk reduction within an organisation’s quality management system, ensuring operational excellence and quality assurance in manufacturing and quality control efforts.
