Product Id: 701152
This Quality management training will show you how to use methods you probably already have in place to create effective preventive action. Linking these on-going tools to your CAPA program will increase the benefit. Many organizations focus on improving root cause problem solving and tracking issues and corrective actions. That’s a good beginning to a CAPA program. But many organizations don’t effectively implement Preventive Action.
ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) E2500: A New Approach to Validation
Peter K Watler
90 Min
Product Id: 701165
This ASTM E2500 training will review how these ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) and ICH (International Conference on Harmonization) approaches can simplify the qualification process. Regulatory groups have responded by providing guidance documents such as ICH Q9: “Quality Risk Management” which encourages a level of risk appropriate to safety and efficacy and provides a toolbox of risk management methods. ICH Q8: “Pharmaceutical Development” encourages the use of scientific methods to mitigate risk through concepts such as Design Space, Quality by Design (QbD), Process Analytical Technology (PAT) and Continuous Verification.

Deviations and Process Failures within a CAPA program
Michelle Sceppa
40 Min
Product Id: 701096
This CAPA training presentation will review Failure Investigations and CAPAs; it will describe methods for meeting those requirements. Many regulated companies still do not have a robust Failure Investigation and/or CAPA programs. Failure investigations and Corrective and Preventive actions (CAPA) are amongst the most frequently found deviations in FDA warning letters. Companies have procedures but either they are not adequate or are not followed. This CAPA training presentation will review Failure Investigations and CAPAs; it will describe methods for meeting those requirements.
Gage R & R - Improving the Reliability and Reducing the Variation of Your Measurement System
Vinny Sastri
60 Min
Product Id: 701084
This Webinar will provide a basic and practical understanding of the method and will include both continuous and attribute test methods. All measurements have variation. Identifying the root causes and sources of this variation and finding ways to minimize the variation will result in test methods that one can use with high confidence to test and release acceptable products to the end-user. One of the most common methods used to assess a measurement system’s capability is the Gage Repeatability and Reproducibility (Gage R&R). It focuses on identifying and reducing the variation in the measurement system.

Documenting & Conducting CAPA Investigations
Nathan Conover
60 Min
Product Id: 701038
This CAPA training provides a process to overcome challenges for Documentation and Conducting CAPA Investigations and integrates FDA requirements and guidelines. "Failure to employ effective CAPA systems can lead to FDA Warning Letters and worse. Accurate documentation is a must – but capturing information from a diverse workforce can be very difficult. Do you have what it takes to meet these challenges?".
Fact: The FDA has noted that 76% of all Warning Letters have CAPA-related issues. This is a significantly large percentage – the results of companies doing a bad job of identifying corrective and preventive actions as well as not validating plan effectiveness.
