CAPA is a systematic approach to resolving quality issues by identifying root causes, implementing corrective actions to eliminate recurrence, and establishing preventive actions to stop potential problems before they occur. Part 1 of Module 1 covers this definition.
Corrective action eliminates the cause of a detected non‑conformity to prevent recurrence. Preventive action eliminates the cause of a potential non‑conformity to prevent occurrence. Module 1 explains both distinctions. ANAB - Corrective Action vs. Preventive Action.
Under 21 CFR Part 117.150, food facilities must establish written corrective action procedures when preventive controls are not properly implemented. Requirements include identifying and correcting problems, reducing the likelihood of recurrence, evaluating all affected food for safety, and documenting all actions. 21 CFR § 117.150 – Corrective actions and corrections.
Clause 10.2 of ISO 9001:2015 focuses on non‑conformity and corrective action, requiring organizations to react to non‑conformities, evaluate the need for action, determine root causes, and prevent recurrence. ComplianceQuest – CAPA Requirements in ISO 9001.
GFSI‑benchmarked schemes require corrective actions to include root cause analysis, immediate mitigation, corrective steps, preventive actions, and evidence of completion within defined timelines. Why Your Corrective Actions Keep Failing – GFSI Requirements.
The course covers tools such as the 5 Whys, fishbone diagrams, and other structured techniques to identify underlying causes. Module 6 covers root cause analysis tools. see Smart Root Cause Analysis for deeper coverage.
A structured CAPA process includes problem identification, team formation, root cause analysis, action planning, implementation, verification of effectiveness, and closure. Modules 4 through 8 walk through each step. see Smart Problem Solving for broader problem‑solving skills.
Common reasons include unclear problem definition, lack of root cause analysis, insufficient management support, failure to verify effectiveness, and inadequate documentation. Module 10 addresses these challenges in depth.
