capa

What problem does it solve?

CAPA provides a structured, end-to-end framework to detect, investigate, design, and close corrective and preventive actions for broken processes, ensuring robust root-cause analysis and durable fixes.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Defines eight sequential phases (DETECT through CLOSE) to guide teams through failure handling, documentation, and verification.
• Tracks root causes, actions, and evidence in a centralized CAPA database (capa_records, root_causes, process_changes, research_findings, changelog) for auditability and learning.
• Supports references and templates to standardize investigations, design changes, and re-executions across teams.

Quick Start

Document a failure to create a CAPA record and proceed through the eight phases to validate a durable fix.
