CAPA comprises of two elements: Corrective Actions, and Preventive
Actions.
Corrective Actions
The actions that an organization takes to eliminate
nonconformities for preventing their reoccurrence.
Any corrective action shall be taken without any ado.
Also, the actions taken shall be effective enough over
the effects of the nonconformities identified.
Preventive Actions
The actions that an organization takes to eliminate
the possible causes of the potential nonconformities
to prevent problem occurrence well-in-advance. The
actions taken shall be effective enough to restrict the
effects of potential problems.
