Common Management Systems Issues –
Globally!
Over the last 3 years BSI has conducting over 250,000
audits, causing us to noticed a few trends in the CAPA
process, & overall management of Actions. Top 5 include:
• Inefficient overly manual CAPA processes
• Scattered, Non-uniformed data and communications
• Less visibility on CAPA activities
• Deadlines are often missed
• Inefficient processes (similar to #1)
