The process commences by identifying deviations, discrepancies, or issues within pharmaceutical manufacturing or quality control processes. This can be achieved through audits, inspections, customer feedback, or internal quality control protocols.
QALT Root Cause Analysis (RCA)
Upon identifying an issue, the subsequent step involves conducting a comprehensive root cause analysis to ascertain the reasons behind its occurrence. Commonly utilized RCA techniques such as fishbone diagrams, the 5 Whys method, or fault tree analysis are instrumental in uncovering the underlying causes.
QALT Corrective Actions
Upon conducting a thorough root cause analysis, corrective actions are being implemented to address the immediate issue and prevent its recurrence. These actions may encompass adjustments to processes, retraining of personnel, recalibration of equipment, or updates to standard operating procedures.
QALT Preventive Actions
In addition to resolving the current concern, it is essential to establish preventive measures to avert the recurrence of similar issues. This entails introducing modifications to processes, protocols, or systems to preemptively manage risks.
QALT Documentation and Reporting
All Corrective and Preventive Action (CAPA) activities necessitate comprehensive documentation, encompassing specifics of the problem, root cause analysis, implemented corrective and preventive measures, assigned personnel, and designated timelines for execution. This meticulous documentation is crucial for regulatory adherence and the facilitation of continuous enhancement initiatives.
QALT Review and Verification
Corrective and Preventive Action (CAPA) activities necessitate regular reviews to guarantee their efficacy and adherence to regulatory standards. This process may encompass subsequent audits, inspections, or internal assessments to confirm that the corrective and preventive measures have been executed as planned and are yielding the intended outcomes.
