CAPA has been the #1 reason for 483 observations since 1997.
The FDA's enforcement plan makes it clear: Developing a successful CAPA program has never been more important.
But creating an FDA-proof CAPA isn’t easy.
If only drug and devicemakers could pick the brain of someone who is coping successfully with CAPA, the best and the brightest, an industry leader who has devised programs, procedures and solutions that have put companies out in front with the FDA.
Well, they can.
FDAnews and Immel Resources are offering an advanced version of their previous CAPA investigations class — fully updated to meet tough FDA scrutiny in 2014.
In this year’s Conducting Advanced Root Cause Analysis and CAPA Investigations workshop, attendees will:

- Learn key problem-solving techniques to break a problem down into its component parts: CIA, Kepner-Tregoe and FMEA.
