CAPA stands for which of the following?

CAPA is a formal, systematic approach used in quality management to address problems by correcting what already happened and preventing recurrence. The best choice expands to Corrective and Preventive Actions. Corrective actions are steps taken to fix the root cause of an existing nonconformity, while preventive actions are steps designed to prevent the issue from happening again. The emphasis on taking concrete actions distinguishes this term from options that would replace “Actions” with analytics or assessments or swap in a different word like compliance. For example, if a batch shows a defect, you investigate to find the root cause, implement a corrective action to fix the defect, and implement a preventive action to modify the process so the defect doesn’t recur.
