Corrective and Preventive Action System for ISO & IATF Compliance

Challenges:

Inefficient and difficult to maintain:

Paper-based and hybrid systems for Corrective Action and Preventive Action are inexpensive initially. In the long term, however, these systems are inefficient, requiring tremendous man-hours in terms of routing CAPA tasks and other documentation, obtaining approval and signatures, and manual search and retrieval of documents during inspections and audits.

No Integration and information Sharing:
A CAPA may be triggered by Form 483 findings, ISO quality audits, customer complaints, or some other source. With manual and hybrid systems, these sources are not connected, making data collection slow and incomplete. Without connectivity, critical information may fall through the cracks, and the root cause investigation is likely to be unreliable.

Poor implementation of CAPA systems a top reason for issuance of a Form 483) may stem from the lack of ability to track and monitor open CAPAs and proactively improve the CAPA process
