Level: Beginner

According to the FDA (as well as other regulators), corrective and preventive action (CAPA) management and lack of proper investigation of challenges is a top observation among companies in the industry. In this short course, through interactive case studies, participants will learn how to conduct a proper investigation into a robust root cause analysis using industry standard tools in a toolkit approach. Additionally, participants will explore the challenges of proper CAPA planning and define appropriate effectiveness checks to ensure these observations do not occur again and how to properly document what was performed. Real-life case studies from various FDA 483s will be explored to showcase how to apply our toolkit approach to avoid action by regulators and ensure compliance in your processes and company culture.
