Connect CAPA to your other quality, safety, and compliance processes for closed-loop quality management
Corrective and Preventive Actions
Closed-loop corrective and preventive actions for issues and incident management
Organization-wide participation
Corrective and Preventive Actions (CAP or CAPA) are central to a complete Quality Management System. They can stem from incidents, non-conformances, inspections, audits, complaints, observations, and more. And they involve many stakeholders: An effective CAPA solution promotes organization-wide participation for those who need to submit issues, investigate causes, or extract data for reporting and analysis.
DevonWay Corrective and Preventive Actions is a closed-loop continuous improvement solution that empowers everyone from field to office to participate. An easy-to-use browser interface minimizes training and change management. The intuitive DevonWay mobile app enables workers to capture issues on the spot - even without a network connection - and includes activity streams that give them the real-time information they need. Supervisors can set up trigger-based alerts and ad-hoc reports to keep defined stakeholders informed.
Tailored to your needs
Every CAPA process is different. For example, your business may or may not require an in-depth root-cause analysis.
With DevonWay Corrective and Preventive Actions, your CAPA workflows are quickly configured to your unique business rules, so it continues to work for you even as your processes evolve.
Most DevonWay customers combine DevonWay Corrective and Preventive Actions with other DevonWay products, like DevonWay Mobile Observations and Audits and Assessments.
