CORRECTIVE AND PREVENTIVE ACTIONS

The Corrective and Preventive Actions (CAPA) module is used to record and track measures taken to correct and/or prevent quality failures. You create a Corrective Action Report (CAR) and document the reason, investigation, containment, root cause, corrective action, verification, prevention and approval.

 

Corrective Action Reports help you satisfy international quality specification requirements to identify, correct and, where practicable, prevent adverse quality conditions. The CAPA module can be a tool for reporting to management the results of corrective and preventive efforts.

Corrective Actions can be linked to Nonconformances and Complaints.

Note: QCBD is designed for manufacturing firms and, in general, is not suitable for service organizations such as hospitals and doctor's offices, police and fire departments, military and other public service organizations.

There are three categories of Corrective Actions;

Process Corrective Actions - designed to capture corrective/preventive information related to products, parts or processes. They are intended for tracking of internal product failures.

 

Vendor Corrective Actions - designed to capture corrective/preventive information related to vendor supplied component parts, sub-assemblies or services. They are intended for tracking of supplier related failures and can be a tool for communication with your supplier.

 

Audit Corrective Actions - designed to document corrective/preventive information related audits conducted internally, by customers or by 3^rd parties (i.e. ISO compliance audit findings). They are intended to document and manage audit findings.
