Workshop Overview

Quality Assurance professionals play a pivotal role in ensuring compliance with standard operating procedures and regulatory requirements. However, merely addressing deviations is insufficient without a robust strategy to prevent their recurrence. Identifying and addressing the underlying root causes is paramount to establishing a resilient quality management system. This workshop goes beyond surface-level analysis and embraces a holistic approach to process improvement.

By leveraging Lean principles, participants will explore innovative methods for root cause identification that transcend conventional attributions such as “human error.” The tools and techniques presented in this workshop empower attendees to streamline processes and minimize deviations, ultimately enhancing operational efficiency and regulatory compliance.

Join us to gain actionable insights that can be immediately applied to your daily work, simplifying processes and reducing the time and effort required to complete tasks. Elevate your CAPA strategy and drive continuous improvement within your organization.
