The reason for initiating a CAPA (Corrective and Preventive Action) is to eliminate a nonconformity. CAPA is a systematic approach to identify, investigate, and address the root cause of a nonconformity or deviation from a desired outcome. By implementing CAPA, organizations can take corrective actions to address the nonconformity and prevent its recurrence in the future. This helps in improving quality, ensuring compliance with standards, and enhancing customer satisfaction.Rate this question:

The stage of CAPA where the root cause of a nonconformance is evaluated is the "Investigate and Plan" stage. In this stage, a thorough investigation is conducted to identify the underlying cause of the nonconformance. Once the root cause is determined, a plan is developed to address and correct the issue. This stage is crucial in ensuring that the corrective and preventive actions implemented in subsequent stages are effective in preventing future occurrences of the nonconformance.Rate this question:

- A.
True, all CAPA requests are investigated and completed.
- B.
False, the Quality System Manager may find that the problem does not require action.
Correct Answer
B. False, the Quality System Manager may find that the problem does not require action.Explanation
The correct answer is False because the statement mentions that all CAPA requests are approved by the Quality Systems Manager. However, this is not accurate as the Quality Systems Manager may determine that the problem does not necessitate any action. Therefore, not all CAPA requests are necessarily approved by the Quality Systems Manager.Rate this question:
