Zielsetzung
During this course, you will get to know the principles and discuss all relevant aspects to perform failure investigations to get to the true Root Cause of a problem. This is the key for efficient Event Management and CAPA Systems.
Hintergrund
Things will go wrong from time to time. In the world of pharmaceuticals, we need to ensure that we have robust processes and procedures in place to deal with such situations. When an unplanned event arises, it must be handled accordingly.
EudraLex Vol. 4, EU-GMP Guidelines,
Chapter 1 (Pharmaceutical Quality System):
1.4 (xiv): “An appropriate level of root cause analysis should be applied during the investigation of deviations, suspected product defects and other problems.”
In any case a sound failure investigation is the key to identify appropriate actions and CAPAs. Here, understanding how to handle both human error- and non-human error-based non-conformances is crucial.
EudraLex Vol. 4, EU-GMP Guidelines,
Chapter 1 (Pharmaceutical Quality System):
1.8: […] “The basic requirements of GMP are that: (vii) Any significant deviations are fully recorded, investigated with the objective of determining the root cause and appropriate corrective and preventive action implemented”
Root cause analysis (RCA) is a process that attempts to identify the exact cause of a problem, such as a deviation. Only by identifying the exact underlying fault is it possible to take the right action to solve the problem and prevent it from occurring again.
Zielgruppe
This course is designed for all personnel involved in failure investigation/Root Cause Analysis concerning events, deviations and CAPA activities in their company. It is addressed to persons from Quality Assurance and Control, Manufacturing and R&D.
