This online training program describes corrective and preventive actions (CAPAs), and how good manufacturing practices can be applied to eliminate causes of non-conformities or other undesirable situations. The training program enables the students to interpret and identify the requirements of a pharmaceutical CAPA system. As a fundamental management tool, CAPA is integral to the effectiveness of a quality management system. The objectives of this course are to teach the requirements of ICH Q10- PQS (Pharmaceutical Quality System), describe escalation and tracking processes in a CAPA system, explain the importance of investigation and risk assessment, list a CAPA system's critical elements, explore the different processes and phases of a good CAPA system, and identify a CAPA system's regulatory requirements.
COURSE OBJECTIVES:
·Identify the regulatory requirements for a CAPA system.
·List the various phases and the processes of a successful CAPA system.
·Explain the critical elements of a CAPA system.
·Explain the importance of risk assessment and investigation.
·Describe tracking and escalation processes in a CAPA system.
·Recognize the requirements of ICH Q10 - Pharmaceutical Quality System (PQS).
