Enterprise-wide NCM and CAPA Management for Regulatory Compliance and Cost Reduction

Managing material and process nonconformance to minimize its impact on the product quality and ensuring that corrective actions are implemented to uncover and eliminate the cause of the nonconformance is one of the central functions of a quality unit.

Quality managers are finding that point-solutions and spreadsheet-based systems are inadequate for ensuring a closed-loop nonconformance and corrective action process for sustainable compliance with quality standards such as ISO 9000 and FDA cGMPs. To successfully handle nonconformance incidents, quality managers need powerful automation and collaboration tools as review and remediation activity often spans across departments and locations.

In this online discussion, we will review common bottlenecks and productivity issues in nonconformance and corrective action management and demonstrate key capabilities of the MetricStream quality management solution that address them.

• Accelerate nonconformance review and approval cycles with automated workflows
• Reduce repeat nonconformance with consistent and closed-loop corrective action
• Improved communication and teamwork with parallel and sequential activities
• Real-time reports and dashboards for the nonconformance and corrective action data
