Putting Audit Management And CAPAs Together

Any company that works within a regulated industry – such as the medical, biotech, or pharmaceutical industries – is expected to have the procedures in place to deal with any quality issues that have come up (or that could come up). Corrective and Preventative Actions (CAPAs) must be effective, and the company must be prepared to act on them whenever they are initiated. However, a CAPA could be initiated through many different methods, from customer complaints to internal audits.

Audit management software has become a fairly common tool for identifying and initiating CAPAs. If a company sets their audit systems to take place regularly, and collects the right data, it can easily spot impending problems and route that information to the team or the expert that can properly correct or prevent the issue. This integration of functionality has been a huge bonus to many businesses.
