6.0      DEFINITION:

• • Corrective and Preventive Action (CAPA):

• • A concept with current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) that focuses on the systematic investigation of root causes of unexpected incidences to prevent their recurrence (corrective action) or to prevent their occurrence (preventive action).

• • Corrective Action:

• • Action is taken to eliminate the causes of an existing nonconformity, defect or other undesirable situation, in order to prevent a recurrence.

• • Preventative Action:

• • Action is taken to eliminate the cause of a potential nonconformity, defect or other undesirable situation, in order to prevent occurrence.

• • Contract Manufacturing Organization (CMO)/In-License Third-Party Manufacturer:

• • An organization that supports any part of, or completes the process of manufacturing, labeling, packing, testing, and distribution of product on behalf of another organization. Contract manufacturing involves the production of goods by an organization, under the label or brand of another organization.

• • Correction:

• • Action taken to eliminate non-conformity.

• • Effectiveness Criteria:

• • Measurable standards that, if met, demonstrate a corrective action has prevented recurrence of a finding/issue and/or a preventive action has prevented a potential finding/issue before it occurred.

• • Effectiveness Monitoring:

• • A post-execution assessment of CAPAs to verify that implemented actions have the desired outcome, as defined by the success criteria.

• • Quality Council /Quality Review Management:

• • A forum to support the premise that the Quality Council is a mechanism to exercise management responsibility, as well as to ensure timely decisions and cross-functional support.

• • It is a forum for leadership engagement, awareness and decision making around quality systems and process/ product performance.

• • It is not a substitute for line management accountability or the only forum for addressing improvements to quality systems and cGMP problem-solving.

• • Subject Matter Expert:

• • An individual, who is educated, trained, experienced, and recognized in a particular field or subject matter.

• • cGxP:

• • cGxP is a general term that stands for current Good “x” Practice (x = Clinical, Engineering, Laboratory, Manufacturing, Documentation, Pharmaceutical, etc.).

• • The titles of these Good “x” Practice guidelines usually begin with “Good” and end in “Practice”. cGxP represents the abbreviations of these titles where “x” a common symbol for a variable, represents the specific descriptor.
