The Risks of Overdue CAPAs and How to Prevent Them
Overdue CAPAs
When Corrective and Preventive Actions (CAPAs) fall behind schedule, they can create serious compliance risks and operational inefficiencies. Overdue CAPAs not only signal gaps in your quality management system but can also raise red flags during audits and inspections.
Why Do CAPAs Become Overdue?
Common reasons include:
Poorly defined timelines or responsibilities
Inadequate resources or prioritization
Lack of proper tracking and follow-up
These delays can result in non-compliance, product quality issues, and damage to your organization’s reputation.
How to Stay on Track
Prevent overdue CAPAs with these best practices:
Set Clear Deadlines: Assign realistic timelines for CAPA completion.
Define Ownership: Ensure accountability by assigning specific owners for each task.
Use Tracking Tools: Implement a CAPA tracking system to monitor progress and send reminders.
Review Regularly: Hold routine CAPA reviews to address roadblocks early.
