What Makes a CAPA “Effective”?

Root cause, process weaknesses, corrective action and verification, through a practical Lean lens.

CORRECTIVE & PREVENTIVE ACTION THE DEVIATION IS CLOSED. But is the problem actually gone? A CAPA can look complete on paper and still leave the real cause untouched. EXPLORE THE WORKSHOP →   ▌ ▌ ▌ ▌ ▌ ▌ ▌ ▌ ▌ ▌ ▌ ▌ ▌ ▌ ▌ ▌ ▌  A retraining. A revised SOP. Another corrective action. They may close the CAPA. But if the process that created the problem hasn’t changed, what exactly did we correct?  This workshop brings Lean thinking into CAPA, helping you move beyond surface-level explanations to identify root causes, improve processes and develop corrective actions that address the problem at its source.   STOP TREATING THE SYMPTOM. START FIXING THE PROCESS. That’s where Lean thinking changes CAPA.   A BETTER WAY THROUGH CAPA FOLLOW THE PROBLEM. 01 DEFINE Frame the problem clearly. 02 TRACE Examine the process and identify non-value-added activities. 03 FIND Move beyond “human error” to identify the underlying root cause. 04 FIX Develop corrective actions and confirm the results. A CAPA ISN’T COMPLETE JUST BECAUSE AN ACTION WAS TAKEN. DID IT ADDRESS THE CAUSE? WHO SHOULD ATTEND QUALITY ASSURANCE • INTERNAL AUDIT • REGULATORY COMPLIANCE For professionals across pharmaceutical, biotechnology, medical device and other regulated environments, and anyone looking to strengthen their practical understanding of CAPA. ▌ ▌ ▌ ▌ ▌ ▌ ▌ ▌ ▌ ▌ ▌ ▌ ▌ ▌ ▌ ▌ ▌ ✓ CERTIFICATE OF ATTENDANCE All participants receive a Certificate of Attendance upon completion.
