Inadequate investigations and CAPAs have 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 investigation and CAPA isn’t easy.
What if manufacturers could talk with an industry leader who has spent years reading investigation reports, studying human error and performance issues, facilitating training sessions around the world, helping firms under consent decrees, and establishing investigation programs?
Well, they can.
FDAnews and LearningPlus are offering an advanced version of their previous CAPA investigations class that emphasizes investigating to find the root, contributing, and proximal causes — things that are essential to know to create an effective CAPA.
In this year’s Conducting Advanced Root Cause Analysis and CAPA Investigations workshop, attendees will:
- Learn how to conduct an effective, efficient investigation to avoid regulatory action and get a favorable closeout letter.
- Discuss lessons learned from recent FDA warning letter citations on CAPA investigations.
- Learn key problem-solving techniques to break a problem down into its component parts: Change Analysis, Fishbone Diagrams and Fault Trees.
- Receive a course workbook complete with charts, forms, manuals and guidance.
- Interact with colleagues during 12 interactive activities.
Additional benefits attendees will receive by attending the Conducting Advanced Root Cause Analysis and CAPA Investigations include:
- Gain valuable strategies for getting information right away in the “golden hours” after the incident.
- Discover best practices for determining the real cause of human error with tools used by aviation accident investigators.
- Benchmark current best practices in CAPA and investigations.
- Learn practical strategies and techniques.
- Obtain sample forms for conducting investigations and case reviews.
- Demonstrate the value of a cross-functional team and also ways that experts demonstrate their expertise
