CAPA (Corrective and Preventive Action)

CAPA, or Corrective and Preventive Action, is a systematic approach used to identify, investigate, and resolve problems in processes or products. Corrective actions address existing issues to prevent them from recurring, while preventive actions aim to identify potential problems before they occur. This process is essential in various industries, including manufacturing and healthcare, to enhance quality, safety, and compliance. By systematically addressing both current and future issues, organizations can improve their operations and minimize risks, ultimately ensuring better outcomes for customers and stakeholders.
