avviksprosedyrer

An avviksprosedyre, or deviation procedure, is a documented process used by organizations to manage and address any departure from established standards, procedures, or expected outcomes. These procedures are crucial for maintaining quality, safety, and compliance across various sectors, including manufacturing, healthcare, and service industries. The primary goal of an avviksprosedyre is to ensure that deviations are identified, reported, investigated, and corrected in a systematic and effective manner.

The process typically begins with the identification of an avvik, which can occur through various means such as internal audits, inspections, customer feedback, or process monitoring. Once identified, the avvik must be formally documented, detailing the nature of the deviation, its location, and the time it occurred. Following documentation, an investigation is initiated to determine the root cause of the deviation. This investigation is critical for understanding why the avvik happened and preventing recurrence.

Based on the investigation, corrective and preventive actions (CAPA) are developed and implemented. Corrective actions aim to fix the immediate problem caused by the avvik, while preventive actions focus on eliminating the root cause to avoid future occurrences. The effectiveness of these actions is then monitored and evaluated. Finally, the avviksprosedyre often includes a step for closing the deviation record once all actions have been completed and verified, ensuring accountability and continuous improvement within the organization.
