Root Cause Analysis for GMP Investigations

Identifying Systemic Failures and Building Effective CAPA

Designed for organizations responsible for investigating quality events, evaluating recurring issues, or maintaining corrective action systems across regulated operations.

ABOUT THE COURSE

Investigation teams routinely face decisions about whether observed failures reflect isolated events, contributing factors, or broader process and system weaknesses. This session structures investigation activities, analytical methods, impact evaluation, and CAPA linkage into a repeatable approach for resolving underlying causes.

The session begins with the role of failure investigation within CGMP systems and then follows the progression from problem definition through root cause identification, impact analysis, corrective action development, verification activities, and long-term monitoring. Practical analytical tools and workflow models are used throughout to support consistency and repeatability.

Key Areas Covered

  • FDA expectations for failure investigation and CAPA systems
  • Structured failure investigation and problem definition
  • Root cause analysis using practical investigation tools
  • Distinguishing symptoms from systemic causes
  • Impact assessment and risk evaluation activities
  • Corrective, preventive, and verification actions
  • Monitoring effectiveness and sustaining improvements
