CAPAprocessus

CAPAprocessus is a term that refers to the systematic approach of Corrective and Preventive Actions (CAPA) within a business or organizational process. It encompasses the entire lifecycle of identifying, investigating, resolving, and preventing deviations from expected standards or performance. The core objective of a CAPAprocessus is to ensure continuous improvement and minimize the recurrence of problems. This involves a structured methodology that typically begins with the detection of a non-conformance or a potential issue. Once identified, a thorough investigation is conducted to determine the root cause of the problem. Following root cause analysis, corrective actions are implemented to address the immediate issue. Crucially, preventive actions are then developed and executed to eliminate the likelihood of the problem happening again, or to prevent similar issues from arising. The CAPAprocessus often involves documentation, review, and verification steps to confirm the effectiveness of the implemented actions. This structured approach is vital for quality management systems, regulatory compliance, and operational efficiency across various industries.
