KICK-OFF
The measure of success is not
whether you have a tough
problem to deal with, but
whether it is the same problem
you had last year.
— John Foster Dulles
CAPA REQUIREMENT
The requirement for CAPA is stated in ISO 9001:2015
Clause 10.2.1 When a nonconformity occurs, including any arising from complaints, the organization shall:
a) react to the nonconformity and, as applicable: [Correction]
b) take action to control and correct it;
c) deal with the consequences; [NC can be anything deviating from the standard requirements]
d) evaluate the need for action to eliminate the cause(s) of the nonconformity, in order that it does not recur
[Corrective Action] or occur [Preventive Action] elsewhere, by:
e) reviewing and analyzing the nonconformity; [Description of NC]
f) determining the causes of the nonconformity; [RCA of NC]
g) determining if similar non conformities exist, or could potentially occur; [Platforms at Risk]
h) implement any action needed; [Correction]
i) review the effectiveness of any corrective action taken; [Effectiveness Measure]
j) update risks and opportunities determined during planning, if necessary; [Update Risk Documented Information]
k) Make changes to the quality management system, if necessary. [Update Changes in the Documented Information]
l) Corrective actions shall be appropriate to the effects of the nonconformities encountered. [Effectiveness Measure]
Clause 10.2.2 The organization shall retain documented information as evidence of:
a) the nature of the nonconformities and any subsequent actions taken;
b) the results of any corrective action.
CAPA INSIGHT
Corrective & Preventive Actions [a.k.a CAPA] is a structured, formalized way to
investigate Non-Conformities and determine appropriate Corrections, Corrective
Actions and Preventative Actions and measure their effectiveness. (With Records)
Serve as a useful tool for analyzing past events, correcting existing non
conformities and preventing future events.
Goes beyond regulatory compliance to positively impact the customers by
increasing the value of our products and services.

ROOT CAUSE
Concept & Tool
A root cause is the reason for a condition or an action at its origin or
source.
In the context of problem solving, a root cause is one considered to be
far enough into the sequence of causes and effects, that removing it
will eliminate the effect completely and permanently.
ROOT CAUSE
Tools
• Asking Why ?
To the problem statement
for 5 times so as to derive
the Root Cause
5 WHYS
• Finding the
underlying Causes
by asking Question
such as
• WHAT – IS/NOT
• WHEN – IS/NOT
• WHERE – IS/NOT
• EXTENT – IS/NOT

Problem Solving (8D)
1) Team Formation
2) Problem Description

CAUSE & EFFECT
• Finding the underlying
Causes from the Effect
[Problem]
• MAN
• MATERIAL
• MACHINE
• METHOD
• ENVIRONMENT
ROOT CAUSE: 5 WHY ANALYSIS
Concept & Tool
5 Whys is an iterative interrogative technique used to explore the cause-and-effect
relationships underlying a particular problem. The primary goal of the technique is to
determine the root cause of a defect or problem by repeating the question "Why?".
Each answer forms the basis of the next question
Problem - Flat Tire
• Why-1? Nails on garage floor
• Why-2? Box of nails on shelf split open
• Why-3? Box got wet
• Why-4? Rain thru hole in garage roof
• Why-5? Roof shingles are missing

WHAT
• What object has the problem?
• What is the defect?
• What similar object could have the problem but does
not?
• What defect could the object have but does not?
WHERE
• Where is the object located geographically when the defect
is noticed?
• Where is the defect located on the object?
• Where could the object be located but it is not?
• Where could the defect be located but it is not?
WHEN
• When was the defective object first noticed? When has it
been observed since?
• What is the timing pattern (continuous, random, or cyclical)
and trend?
• When could the defective object been noticed, but was
not?
• What could the timing pattern and trend be but is not?
EXTENT
• How many objects have the defect?
• How extensive is the defect?
• How many objects could have the defect but do not?
• How extensive could the defect be but is not?
ROOT CAUSE: 8D ANALYSIS
8 Disciplines of Problem Solving - Concept & Tool
8D is an approach for product and process improvement.
It is used to implement structural long-term solutions to prevent recurring problems.
The 8D Report was first used in the automotive industry.
They represent 8 steps to take to solve difficult, recurring or critical problems (often
customer failures or major cost drivers).
The structured approach provides transparency, drives a team approach, and
increases the chance of solving the problem.
During World War II the 8D Method was used in Team Oriented Problem Solving
(TOPS) in the United States under Military Standard 1520.
It was later used and popularized by car manufacturer Ford.
ROOT CAUSE: 8D ANALYSIS
8 Disciplines of Problem Solving - Concept & Tool
D-1: Create a Team: Gather a cross-functional team of about 5 people with product/process
knowledge, and have them gather information and data related to the problem or symptom
D-2: Describe the Problem: Use the data and information to quantify and clarify the
problem into a statement. Ask the 5W2H’s (who, what, where, when, why, how, and how
many) for the problem.
D-3: Develop Containment Plan: Define and implement interim containment actions to
isolate the problem from any customer in the future.
D-4: Determine and Verify Root Causes: Identify and verify all applicable causes and
sources of variation that explain why the problem has occurred (special vs . common cause).
ROOT CAUSE: 8D ANALYSIS
8 Disciplines of Problem Solving - Concept & Tool
D-5: Verify Permanent Solutions: Collect data to confirm that the possible solutions will
actually resolve the problem. Perform on a small-scale or “pilot” project first.
D-6: Define and Implement Corrective Actions: Discuss and review results, and develop
plan to implement best solutions or countermeasure.
D-7: Prevention: Modify the management systems, operation systems, procedures and
practices to prevent recurrence of this and similar problems.
D-8: Congratulate the team: Formally thank team members for their involvement. Use
approaches that appeal to each individual member, as not everyone wants to be rewarded
the same way.
INVESTIGATING CAUSE
FACT FINDING Vs. FAULT FINDING
The Problem Statement is the difference between WHAT IS and WHAT SHOULD BE
 Focus on
 Facts finding, not fault finding !
 What is wrong, not why it’s wrong ?
"Again and again, the impossible decision is solved when we see that the
problem is only a tough decision waiting to be made."
— Dr. Robert Schuller
SOLUTION/ ACTION PLAN
FACT FINDING Vs. FAULT FINDING
Implement a Solution to address the CAUSE not the SYMPTOM
 Lists Corrective and Preventive actions
 Clearly addresses root causes
 Commensurate with the Risk of the issue
 Identification of Task Owners and Task Due Dates
 Implementation of Solution
 CAPA Monitoring
 Retaining Records
"The most serious mistakes are not being made as a result of wrong answers. The truly dangerous thing is asking
the wrong questions." — Peter Drucker
SOLUTION/ ACTION PLAN
CORRECTION
CORRECTIVE ACTION
& PREVENTIVE ACTION
CORRECTION
Temporary action taken to eliminate a
dectcted non-conformance [Rework, Sorting,
Scrap, Repair]
E.g: Replace Part
CORRECTIVE
ACTION
CORRECTIVE ACTION
Action taken to eliminate the underlying Root
Cause of the problem in order to prevent its
RECURRENCE
E.g: By RCA Approach
PREVENTIVE ACTION
Action taken to eliminate the
underlying Root Cause of a
potential problem in order to
prevent its occurance
OCCURRENCE
E.g: By RCA Approach, Can be
horizontal deployment of
Corrective Action
IMPLEMENT
 Implementing the Corrective Actions
 Testing during formation of Action Plan
 Validate
 Tracking (Where, How Many, Who)
 Retaining Documented Information
After Successful Implementation of Corrective Action
 Implementing the Preventive Actions
EFFECTIVENESS
CAPA is useful only when the implemented action plan is effective, so before
concluding the CAPA, The effectiveness of the implemented plan is measured.
What to do when a effectiveness check fails, and what are the consequences?
• Close the CAPA and open a new one?
• Get an extension?
• Leave the CAPA open and investigate why?
EFFECTIVENESS
MEASURE
 Monitor Performance Indicators and compare “Before” and “After” by assigning a
particular time frame
 Achieve Specific Targets - achieving a pre-determined level
 Statistical Data Analysis-Performance must lie within a set of statistically derived
control limits
 Emphasis should primarily be on identifying the most effective fix
SYMPTOMS OF A
NON-EFFECTIVE CAPA
• Recurring Issues
• Resources are spent on “handling” failure rather than learning from it and
preventing “more of the same”
• Field Issues
CAPA CLOSURE
• CAPA will be closed after measuring the effectiveness set at the particular value.
• The effectiveness of CAPA with be discussed with all personnel in team meetings
organized monthly.
BENEFITS OF SUCESSFULLY
IMPLEMENTED CAPA
• Reduction in Quality Issues
• A reduction in the severity of issues
• Better designed products/processes
• Improved Customer Satisfaction
• Better Business Results
CAPA is useful only when the implemented action plan is effective, so before
concluding the CAPA, The effectiveness of the implemented plan is measured.
"Again and again, the impossible decision is solved when we see that the problem is only a
tough decision waiting to be made."
