Corrective and Preventative Actions
Most engineering work related to correcting engineering failures (CAPA) can be categorized as one of these types:
Recognize Failure
Diagnose Root Cause
Identify Solution Possibilities
Select and Implement Solution(s)
Verify Solution Effectiveness
Recognize Failure
Ever try solving a problem...without understanding it?
Diagnose Root Cause
Ever solve a problem...only to realize only a symptom was addressed?
Identify Solution Possibilities
Ever have a problem...and not know what to do about it?
Select and Implement Solution(s)
Ever analyze a problem so long...that it went away?
Verify Solution Effectiveness
Ever create a solution...that gets set aside because it is more painful than the failures?
