This session examines common CAPA failures and practical approaches for identifying root causes, implementing effective corrective actions and preventing recurrence.

Part of Fix It Fridays, Kiwa ASI's free 2027 webinar series: solving the Most Common Food Safety Audit Findings.
Not another standards-reading webinar: one real-world problem, why it happens and what to do differently.
Every Fix It Fridays webinar is free.
What this 60-minute session covers.
The difference between fixing the problem in front of you and removing its cause.
How investigations stop too early, or settle on a cause that isn't the real one.
Digging past the symptom to the system weakness that let the problem happen.
Why retraining one person rarely prevents the next occurrence.
Choosing actions that change the process, not just the paperwork.
Checking, after the fact, that the action actually worked.
Closing findings in a way that keeps them closed.
Reading findings across audits, complaints and records to see the bigger pattern.
The two terms are often used interchangeably, and that's where many CAPA programs go wrong. FDA's preventive controls rule draws the same line (21 CFR 117.3 and 117.150).
Action that fixes the detected problem itself: relabeling a product, recleaning a line, completing a missing record. ISO 9000 defines it as action to eliminate a detected nonconformity.
Action that removes the cause of the problem so it doesn't happen again. ISO 9000 defines it as action to eliminate the cause of a nonconformity and to prevent recurrence.
Evidence, gathered after the action is in place, that the problem hasn't come back. Without it, a corrective action is only a plan.
Anyone responsible for investigating or closing findings, including:
Six free, live online webinars in 2027, each tackling one common food safety problem: why it happens and what to do differently. See all free webinars.
Move beyond checklists to risk-based, process-focused internal audits.

Control the food safety risks that maintenance work introduces.

A correction fixes the problem that was found, such as relabeling product or recleaning a line. A corrective action removes the cause so the problem doesn't recur. ISO 9000 defines a correction as action to eliminate a detected nonconformity, and a corrective action as action to eliminate the cause of a nonconformity and to prevent recurrence. See correction vs. corrective action.
Because it rarely explains why the error was possible. Asking why the operator made the mistake usually points to training, procedures, equipment, staffing or supervision, and fixing that is what prevents the next occurrence.
Fix It Fridays is Kiwa ASI's free 2027 webinar series on the real-world reasons food safety programs break down. Six 60-minute sessions, one every other month, each tackle one common problem: why it happens and what to do differently. See the full series.
