Bridge gaps in regulatory, quality, and safety compliance through corrective and preventive actions with help from a digital solution.
Periodically monitor cases of nonconformance by maintaining a digital trail that can be easily viewed anytime and anywhere. Extract quantifiable data from these reports so that you can make informed decisions about future CAPA plans based on previous instances of nonconformance.
Determine the primary causes and contributing factors of different issues, incidents, and irregularities with regular inspections, good documentation practices, and smart data analytics. Spot gaps in your safety and quality procedures to get to their root causes and prevent them from reoccurring.
Ensure important announcements and updates on CAPA plans are communicated efficiently with the right tools. Keep all members of your organization in the loop, never leaving anyone out of the loop, no matter where they are.
Ensure all CAPA plans and initiatives are carried out according to the set duration and procedure across all levels through consistent monitoring. Keep track of what actions are working and what aren’t, and adjust your strategy for the best results.
“Pulling data from inspections used to be time consuming and cumbersome. We had to do a lot of guessing around the completion of corrective actions. Now, we can get really specific with information and see exactly where issues lay.”
A CAPA plan is an approach created to identify, address, mitigate, and reduce risks, noncompliance, and hazards in the workplace. It helps organizations investigate the root causes of common problems, take appropriate corrective actions to resolve them, and implement the right preventive measures to avoid their recurrence.
Companies create and implement a CAPA plan to ensure the safety of workers and the quality of their products and services. By creating the right corrective and preventive actions, they can prevent, address, and identify issues or non-conformities in workplace safety, processes, products, or services.
You can document the effectiveness of your CAPA plans and practices by doing the following:
You can measure the effectiveness of your CAPA plan through regular inspections and assessment checks on your programs. It would be best to monitor the changes that result from these initiatives with a digital solution that can visualize your data in easily understandable charts. With this, it can be easier to streamline operations and the decision-making process.
Some challenges associated with implementing CAPA plans include the following:
