Corrective and Preventive Action Requirements and Industry Practice

This 2½ day course provides intensive coverage of the elements of a corrective and preventive action (CAPA) system.

Objective
After completing the course, participants will understand the essentials of an effective CAPA system and understand what is required for compliance with the Quality System regulation. In addition, participants will come away from the course with the ability to implement a closed loop continuous improvement system.

Who Should Attend?
Instruction is targeted to quality assurance personnel, regulatory affairs professionals, implementers of an organization's CAPA system, and management involved in review and oversight of the system.

Format
This course relies on a highly interactive format incorporating case studies and analysis of specific situations taken from Warning Letters. Tools of industry "best practices" are included to improve effectiveness for implementation. This course also includes a workshop on cause analysis and problem prevention; core skills that assist in properly identifying and documenting non-compliances (problems); taking the proper corrective action or identifying potential problems; and taking the necessary preventive action.
