Abstrakt: Corrective and preventive actions (CAPA) are crucial components of quality assurance (QA) within the pharmaceutical industry, essential for maintaining product quality, safety, and regulatory compliance. The review explores the multifaceted role of CAPA in pharmaceutical manufacturing, emphasizing its structured approach to detecting, addressing, and preventing quality issues. CAPA systems are integral to the broader quality management system (QMS), functioning as a dual-loop mechanism that is reactive and proactive approach aligned with continuous improvement principles outlined by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 9001:2000. It details the three distinct phases of CAPA: correction or remedial action, corrective action (CA), and preventive action (PA). It highlights the importance of root cause analysis and the necessity for immediate corrections and long-term preventive measures to avoid recurring issues. Regulatory expectations, such as those from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) under the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) title 21 part 820 and the International Council for Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH) Q10, are discussed, underscoring the need for a comprehensive CAPA plan that integrates data analysis and ongoing process enhancements. Additionally, the paper introduces the 8D methodology as a structured problem-solving approach to complement CAPA efforts. By providing an in-depth examination of CAPA procedures and their implementation, this article aims to contribute to the understanding and effectiveness of quality systems in pharmaceutical manufacturing.
