CAPA, short for Corrective and Preventive Action, is a crucial process in the pharmaceutical and biotech industries. It is a systematic approach that helps identify and address non-conformities, deviations, or potential risks related to processes, products, or systems. CAPA aims to prevent the recurrence of such issues and improve overall quality and compliance. This process involves investigating the root cause, implementing corrective actions to address the immediate problem, and preventive actions to prevent future occurrences. CAPA helps ensure regulatory compliance, enhance efficiency, reduce waste, and improve patient safety. It plays a vital role in maintaining the quality and integrity of pharmaceutical and biotech products throughout their lifecycle.
