CAPA Effectiveness & System Performance Check
As part of the periodic quality review programme, Quality Management should routinely analyse reports of deviations and CAPAs to determine KPIs, trends, recurrence of non-conformances and effectiveness of CAPAs.
A summary overview should be reported to the Senior Management team. ICH Q10 identifies this as best practice - but are we doing this as well as we could or should?
We will discuss Quality Metrics as well as which are the important ones that will show you have a good Pharmaceutical Quality System.
